Where To Find A 2002Ti Throttle Linkage...

[gregmharrison]

Hello All,

I just purchased a set of original dual solexes with intake from a 2000 Ti and I want to convert them to use on my 1970 2002, so I was wondering if anyone has, or knows where to get, a linkage for this setup.  I saw one on this site sell just recently, so hopefully there is another around somewhere.  I attached a couple of pics of the current linkage.  Thanks, Greg

Contact Lars in Germany.  He may still have some reproduction ti linkages available.

Thanks, I'll do that.  G.

Hello Greg,

 

You have linkage for an NK. I just picked up a set of manikfolds/carbs and trumpets for a 2002Ti (no linkage included). I do need the little pivot tower from your setup. Are you interested in selling the spare parts?

Not sure which parts are extra yet, but you can definitely have that one 2000Ti part for sure! Greg

Greg,

 

Thanks for the prompt response. Please stay in touch. I have found that any set of used carbs will require some love before they show you love back. Cheers,

Greg,

 

The manifolds I have are for a 2002Ti, so the there is no hole drilled in the rear manifold for the NK linkage tower. Would you be willing to swap manifolds if I glass bead blast the pair I have and ship them off to you this week? You will not have to put any time into yours other than separate from the carbs and ship to CT.

My intake manifold for the rear carb has a mounting boss for the NK setup that interferes with the linkage arm. Can someone post a picture of the throttle linkage at WOT on their ti? I am wondering if I have to grind the edge of the manifold.

I'll send you a photo tonight. I'm running DCOEs, but the portion of the linkage you are interested in should be OK.

Thanks Andy!   I was looking at my set up this evening and was trying to figure out where the (2) return springs are located.

 

There is a large one at the firewall but the angle of the spring ends is wrong for the hole in the cowl and the lever.

 

Will my stock 2002 accelerator pedal vertical rod work with the ti linkage?

 

The left manifold has a spring retainer stub and the left carb has a hole that may be the hook point for the "smaller" spring.  

 

Any details would be greatly appreciated.  I've looked thru all my reference books and the small details aren't shown.

BTW - the metal linkage rod on my left carb looks identical to the first picture posted here by Greg. The 2002ti linkage rod needs the ball ends on opposite sides.

Jim:

 

I don't think I completely understand your problem - I think you may be interested in the linkage between the two carbs at WOT rather than the linkage connection to the accelerator rod.  Do these photos help?  I know the linkage between the two carbs on my car has been modified for the DCOE's. My setup just uses the one large spring on the firewall.   Shoot me a photo of your problem area and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks for the pics! Now I see how my pedal linkage rod attaches to the firewall piece (and the return spring). I'll post some of my pics tonight to compare.
