I'm going back to stock doolys on my 74 bus after the PO had a single prog. I got the carbs, linkage, and all the air box stuff from Minnesota a while back. Good price. Cleaned 'em up in and out and am now installing them.
Putting the linkage back together I noticed that the right side of the main bar has no socket for the ball on the carb, just a "cut off pipe". Shouldn't there be a socket in there to receive the ball end? Seems too "sloppy" the way it is.
Is this normal? I'm not familiar. But MAN, do your diagrams and instructions help. And they're in English!
Lemme know what to do, please.

The spring might be available from anyone who has all of these beautiful carbs sitting in boxes, the socket is available as a new item . . . from someone. See if the Known To Be Good list has it, or vendors, or somewhere, how the hell helpful am I anyway?mylopolis wrote:There's a spring that goes into the cut pipe and a plastic cap that gets sprung onto the ball.

That works, I am sure, but the plastic cup soulful66 referred to above is the shizzle.rastomas wrote:I finally saw a diagram. It took a #10 compression spring with about a third cut off. Two stainless finishing washers to fit, one on each end of the spring. Smoove, eh?
I probably have one I'm not gonna use, so PM me if you want it. Always willing to help someone get the stock dual carbs back in action.
