Got it installed , linkage works perfect , fired it up and ran ok when revving but wouldn't idle .. found leak with setting idol high ( so it would run ) and spraying engine start around the carb , throttle shaft bore is worn so I've got the carb apart and will sleeve with phoz bronze and bore ... photos to come
