CB Performance Throttle Linkage (Cross Bar, Hex Bar). Dual Carbs

I always thought they spun wrong way?

 

No carbs in the kitchen? I once had the complete rear suspension of my van on the kitchen table

 

@paulcalf, I gave @Fruitcake my cross bar and base plates so he could use the parts to rough out a dual carb set up for his Bus. Recall the ball and socket on one end of the crossbar was worn out, which was why I gave up on it. Unless, Paul wants the drop arms, you can have them for the price of postage, including the delrin modded parts, if there any use?

 

Has anyone used the CSP type 4 hex bar?

 

Thanks for confirming this for me, hope everyone stops telling me to change the linkage now as i knew it wouldn't be a straight forward job.
Plus the current stuff has been fine for many years before i touched it!

 

Thanks that would be very kind.

I'll PM you my address etc.

I'll happily take the Delrin modded parts, but will have to find out what to do with them! Do you need them on CB linkage on a type 1 engine in a bus?

If they are no use to me i can pass them on to another.

Thanks

Paul

 

Interesting evidence for people worried about fitting Subaru engines invalidating MOTs etc.

 

I think it stops the push rod from catching on the nut when you open the throttle. However, animals! A standoff spacer either the Delrin bits or some tapped hex bar would make more sense.

 

What is actually the matter with the linkage you’ve got?

 

Probably nothing.

It started with a loose grub screw......then it got adjusted and hasn't been working properly since.

 

Who adjusted it ?

 

The problem is they are complete rectal discomfort to setup, unless you can do trig in your head; there's just too many angles involved, you end up doing "vector mechanics", or trial and error.

 

Which is why centremounts sell so well

 

Nooo. Didn’t say it’s rubbish. Just that if you’re starting from nothing, a centremount is a lot less complicated.

 

I agree, also the CSP hex bar is fine, no trig required, it's all perpendicular etc, where necessary and it's metric.

Let's move on, Paul can use the bits off my old one, let's see how he gets on, proof of the pudding etc.

 

Paul, I just loosened off them there lock/jam nuts so the arms would lie nicely flat going into a padded envelope. Worth noting I had to dig out my 5/16 and 3/8 across flats spanners for the job, definitely imperial then

Anything you have left over, Paul, please pass it onto @scrooge95, if needed/useful? Ta.

 

Of course. Thanks very much.

My arms are probably fine, but those nuts well make life easier.

 

It wasn't me.

It was actually!

 

Lol. Confession is good for the soul…
