So this is my virgin post at iboats, welcome to you guys! I was given my FIL's restored boat that hasn't been run in nearly 5 years. I've read through the 'awakening' thread and many of the carb rebuild threads. What I haven't found yet is anything showing how to remove the linkage - my Clymer manual doesn't show it, either. The idea of taking apart the thousand tiny objects in a carb doesn't scare me. But looking at the linkage gives me the hibbie-jibbies - I can't seem to figure it out! Is there help anywhere?

This is a great site, I'm glad I found it...

Thanks for the quick response! Seems to easy, but I'll give it a go today and see what happens. What's the worst that could happen? Fixing it is a 30 minute drive to the nearest dealer!
