The throttle Linkage has about 1/4 to 3/8 play.
See video.
It might be hard to see it, but the plastic outer piece that I'm pushing and pulling allows the inner piece to slide in and out about 1/4 to 3/8.

Is this normal?
It makes quite a difference in idle speed.

Cable may need replacing. In the 60s the Cable Ends could be tightened when they got loose. I don't know if the Silver Item, between the Thumb and finger is actually Screwimg697a.jpg
