Throttle rod/cable issue.

[American Mister's 2002]

Recently got stranded with no pedal response only to find out the metal rod on the throttle assembly from the carb to the firewall. Shorter rod that pokes into the firewall area and attaches to the carb. Has started intermittently falling deeper into the firewall area and undoing itself. 
running a 38 Weber. 
 

any ideas or solutions are appreciated! I am trying to attach a video as well

There is a small wire clip that holds the cup on the throttle rod to the ball socket on the carb.

Look closely and you will see the hole in the side of the cup.

For future reference,  this month we will be producing our first batch of downdraft linkage kits for the Weber carburetors.  The kit will replace all of those worn components including all the parts from the firewall bracket to the carburetor throttle lever.  The firewall bracket will feature a Heim joint, the throttle lever will fit both 32/36 and 38/38 carburetors, the down-rod lever will be positioned away from the heater hose, and the entire assembly will be made with more robust components than the original versions.  Here's a few pics of the un-plated prototype version.

 

We'll post it on our website as soon as it is available.

Thank you guys so much for the help!

If you can't source the clip a tiny cotter pin will also work just fine.

Hallelujah! My current "temporary" solution has a bunch of friction, old springs and plastic zip ties.
