Weber DCNF installation < Previous | Back to index | Next>

Here's a view of the finished throttle linkage. Note that the bellcrank needs to be set so that opening the throttle makes it turn UPward. That's the normal position for a FoMoCo or Weber carb, so if your car had one of these carbs previously, it should be fine. However, a Solex carb uses a different arrangement, with the bellcrank turning DOWNward. My car previously had a Solex, and when I put the MSS kit on, I at first forgot to change the linkage (even though the correct position was shown clearly in the photos that came with the instructions.) The result was a very "notchy" throttle action -- either all the way closed or all the way open. Once I realized my mistake and reversed the bellcrank, the problem went away -- but it took a long time to figure out. So, if your car previously had a Solex, DON'T make this mistake!
