Hello all,
After some advice here and doing some research, I've learned I can use a Carter 16 carb on my HH120, but it requires modified linkages.
I guess I have a few questions about doing this.
How do I start with a homemade linkage as far as length?
What material do I use for a linkage?
Any special tools needed, like a Z bender?
Let's say I pick up a Carter 16 and start fresh, how do I go about doing this? I assume you set the new carb to factory settings if it didn't come that way. Perhaps get a measurement from a reference point on the block to the original linkage, bolt the new carb up and use your reference to judge the new linkage length. If everything pans out, I should be able to fine tune the carb from there using the adjustment screws and my tiny tach.
I'm sure it's not too difficult, but I'm one of those guys who likes to have somewhat of an idea before I rip into something I've never done before.
Thanks,
bobcat2
