and there you have it.
Disconnect the downrod and see if the pedal pops up to the top. If it doesn't, you'll have to get under there and take a look why. It looks like someone shortened your downrod to pull the pedal down level with the brake. As to the why of that, IDK.
I've run several different clutched A-bodys, on an off, since 1970 and I have never seen same-height pedals. Two of those A's were on their first clutchs even.
the swivel I'm talking about sits in the cup on the outboard end of the TO fork, and the adjusting link passes thru it. In post #20 it appears as item AG412
