see TD9 in ibdozing 'snowflake' the linkage issues are real, and need checked but not the only !@#$%^&*( thing that keeps that carb from operating. I don't know what to call it but "semi vacume" suction carb device. there is a vent on the side of the carb. sorry no pics of it here at this location. if it is plugged the carb won't draft gas properly, if it is wide open the carb won't draft gas either as the suction is 100% lost. My vent fell off and lost in the dirt some place. fiddling with this nonsense by trial and error, I finally figured out how the carb worked and made a vent of densly wadded up foam rubber and a short bit of copper tubing - foam air cleaner material. I used copper wire to bind the foam tighly to the copper tubing. I know sounds nuts. But take it off and the carb is a dead duck. plug the hole and it is also dead. it has to breath "some". use it and varoom away we go! it is on the side of the carb. if it gets pluged with dirt or bugs wasp mud, or is lost - the carb is a dead duck.
