Noob question 727 really low shift points

thats your ratchet shifter cable Junior

let me see if i can find a pic of the lever you're looking for

(but the pic of the carb is definitive, there is no kick down linkage connected)

Ok, that's good, the part about being able to be certain it's not there. Here's what I ordered from Jegs.
