Alright, I was starting to get everything back together tonight, and my brain failed me on the carburetor linkage. How do I properly install these two pieces. The reason I ask, is that the piece on the left is not on my RD-12/13 diagrams, and I don’t see what purpose it serves (I’m not a smart man). I also noticed that I am missing the large linkage spring that connects to the piece on the right. 😕

Thanks, David. I think the diagram is showing that the piece on the left goes on the linkage shaft first. The linkage rod connected to the carburetor gets connected to the top left hole on the piece on the right. If that is right, I still don’t see what role the piece on the left serves? It doesn’t appear to connect to anything?

Just wanted to say a word of thanks to David Bartlett, Frank, and Ed Elliott for the help and parts for my RD-13. I went into this job thinking it needed the crankshaft seal and a coil, but of course it also needed new condensers, points (it had misaligned Sierra points), ignition cam, one spark plug boot, and carburetor linkage spring. Nothing major, but not the runner it was advertised to be (are they ever!). I ran it on my flushette today, and after a few pulls it fired up and ran very well. I got the carburetor pretty close and hope to get the boat wet next weekend to do the fine tuning.

Thanks for the help, gents!
