i have dual webers (dgv) and my throttle is sticking. all of the plastic ball joints are worn out, and the previous owner has them held together with safety wire. is this the same linkage used on the SU carbs or is it weber- specific? i would like to buy this new. what are some good temporary fixes for the sticking problem?

Parts of the linkage may be original, but not all of it.

You should be able to find replacement parts or possibly a complete new linkage kit for the dual Webers here:

Try here too.

Actually, Pierce Manifold is the one I meant to paste....:stupid: :cross-eye

Their linkage kits aren't cheap, so don't get sticker shock if it's not what you hoped to spend.

i saw how the choke mechanism has a spring on it, so i decided to put a spring on the throttle linkage too. works well enough for now until i can find time to fix it.
