Slick idea Jake. The scat linkage has bolts that attatch the linkage to the throttle levers on the carbs. I bet I could create some play somewhere in the system. The original kadron linkage that I replaced had the ball and socket, which is the "big complaint" about the kad linkage. I'm not sure why though. Also my engine probably expands about a 1/2" more than yours
Thanks,
Ron
