You could get a coupling nut, cut the rod and chase a few threads on each end, but I'm guessing you want to keep it original.

Hard to find a coupling nut that size. but making one would be easy with a piece of brass.

That would be slick. One set of threads need to be left hand? If I could find some round stock I might be able to make one. Drilling the hole for the cotter pin might be tricky. I want to try a thick gasket. That will in effect, lengthen the rod. Hopefully just enough. I don't know if it has a non original carb on it or the base gasket is too thick. If the carb is jacked up the choke rod is too short to close the choke butterfly all the way.

No you just ajust the length with the coupling nut.

Skimmed through that. Looks like a hell of a lot of work. But, i sure don't know any easy way.

Tyke, is there anything up there now? On my 92 D250 we pulled down the original and covered it with camouflage cloth gluing it lightly to it. Then just reinstall it. It looks pretty good..

I recovered my stock pressed cardboard/foam one in the Duster. Lot of work and a wrestling match getting out and back in. Came out OK.

So, today was an interesting day here in Saigon. Been back here 2 days now. She already had four people living in her small house. Her middle Son and his girlfriend who is also Lynda's assistant, Lynda's youngest son (10), and herself. 2 weeks ago, the wife of the oldest son with a 4-month-old baby came down here to stay because they lived in an outlying area with her parents, where medical assistance for the infant was not optimal. The oldest Son of Lynda and the baby's Father is in Russia working. So now there are six people living in this small, what I would call a two-bedroom apartment. 3 days ago, somebody that she knows is moving from Saigon to Vung Tau called her and wanted to sell a refrigerator that is only 2 years old. The refrigerator here on site is very small, and probably 10 years old. They only wanted 300 bucks for a 2-Year-Old refrigerator which was over $1,200 new here in Vietnam. Since I've been here and seen how little space there is in the old refrigerator, I told her I would buy the used one so she could have more space in it for food and what not. So today we went to look at it. She said it was close by. kkkkk But I rode her on the motorbike almost to the center of the city of Saigon which I have never done before in person. Was quite a trip. My first time in a sea of motorbikes. So when we get there, we find out that it's on the 5th floor of a walk-up step apartment project. So obviously we walk up five flights of steps to check out the used refrigerator. Checks out pretty good to me. Looks nice. So my next question was, who in the F is going to bring this thing down five flights to the street and deliver it to our house? There were four little Vietnamese guys there that said they would do it. So I checked it over really good before we left knowing that I would have to look at it really close again after it got to her house. So it got here about an hour ago and looks like nobody dropped it, no big dents, or damage that I could detect. Man, I'm tired !!!

Now why wouldn't they make the rod longer with a bend in it, for some adjustment?

Good to know. I have some blue stuff from a county worker friend. It will kill trees. Great to kill volunteer trees after cutting them off.
