Thanks, folks! 73AbodEE, An inch and a half longer should put the back of the slot on the carb stud, then the rod would begin to move at the same time as the throttle begins to open, Looking for that nut would probably be easier if I knew what to ask for at the hardware store. I have the tools and know how to use them. Darn I'm glad for this forum!
just unscrew the slotted adjuster, take it in with you to ace or wherever, get a short piece of all thread and a long nut that fit together and cut off what you need when you get home
