I'm kinda scratching my head on this and looking for input/ideas on what to do for a throttle pedal and linkage or cable setup. The 5 carbs will all be tied together (non-progressive) and can open by pulling or pushing depending on setup. These pictures are the best that I have now and I still don't have my tranny shields and locking dipstick on so it will get tighter.
Plan A:
Mount a pedal on a pedestal off the frame then run a cable by going forward off the pedal, through the mid-plate, around the front of the engine and back around to "push" them open. Seems like a long way around the barn (literally) and I will need to route the cable around the magneto and various other stuff to get there.
Plan B:
Mount a pedal on a pedestal off the frame then build some type of Z bar across the back of the mid-plate to get to the left side of the mid-plate, go through the mid-plate with a cable to "pull" them open. I'm not really sure if there will be enough room to do this and honestly have not given this approach much thought.
I'm curious what others have done and would like to have your input on what you would do here.
