Quarterwave Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi guys, I have a question I hope someone out there can help me with. The throttle linkage on my Edelbrock carburetor keeps falling off. Please see the pic for details: I'm trying to find out - what is missing in these parts that makes it come off? Currently, the little black rubber boot has a slot in it that the threaded rod coming out of the carburetor goes into. But, there is a nut on that threaded rod and it's not tightening up against anything. Any help is appreciated, as it came off recently while driving, forcing me to pull into a nearby parking lot at idle to try and resolve. Thanks.

Gary Lewis Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The "rubber boot" is designed to go on a ball on the end of a stud. Most of the parts stores I've been in carry a selection thereof, so buy a pack, find the right size, and put it where the current stud is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
