Rebuilt 904 w/ tf2 shifting woes...

That's what I was thinking, that it looks closer to 6, but I have no clue where else it would need to be hooked up at, that is the spot on the carb for the KD cable attachment... He was saying that if it is at the 6, if it was moved to the correct 4 oclock position it shoud be better.

Will take a different linkage. The carb link moves in a circle, so how well it 'pulls' the cable changes based on where it's connected. At 3 o'clock, the initial rotation will move the cable very little because that point on the linkage is mostly moving down toward the ground. If it was connected at 6 o'clock, then it pulls early but at the end of travel it's mostly moving up/down rather than fore/aft, so they're probably right. Having it connected at 4 o'clock will ensure you get the cable to move close to 1:1 with the throttle.

How long the lever is on the carb will change how quickly the cable gets pulled also...
