[Curt C]

So I called the Carburetor Exchange and told them what I saw. They confirmed that this is how it was designed. I stated that it was very dangerous should the carb linkage come off somehow. The Rep just stated that he knows it looks weird but that is how it came and that I was the very first person to ever question it. He said install it and it should run fine for my application. I will put an additional spring on it to prevent it from ever going to full throttle on its own. Not sure what else to do at this point.
