That might just do the trick. The linkage ends are loose and sloppy, much more so than for the choke cable and throttle cable.

If it were my car, I would seriously consider having my carburetor rebuilt by "Charlie ny". Then you could be sure everything was shipshape. As you may have surmised from some other threads on here, properly adding multiple carbs is more than just a matter of bolting parts together. Get it running well with one carburetor first.

No, there are no extra springs.
Definitely not going to buy a cheap copy of a Stromberg, only the real deal. Thinking seriously about a single
Big 97 from Stromberg that flows 250 cfm. Only one carburetor and all the cfm a near-stock flathead would ever need.

It sounds as if there is a major problem that should be easy to identify such as linkage that has fallen off.

Interesting, I don't have those covers, maybe I should.
