carburetor linkage question
 

Hello,

So on on my 82 PU, I discovered the secondary barrel's choke buttery was wired to be open all the time. My choke system is inoperable and disabled, but apparently the secondary butterfly also controls a "Metering valve".

I cannot find the lever that goes to the butterfly linkage.

Here is a picture of the linkage, circled in black:

It is the one right next to the choke linkage.

I appear to be missing the linkage arm altogether.

It looks like it. Here's my 1987 carb pic of the choke linkage and the Air Valve linkage circled in red along with the red arrows.

There is a possibility that those two linkages are still on the top Air Horn section.

Yes! I am missing the upper linkage you have there. Any idea where it goes? It looks like it attaches to the choke linkage assembly... Which makes me think it is there to disable the fuel metering plate when the engine is cold? In which case I can omit it, as it will not harm my fuel mileage... Right?

I just now realized your the same one in the other forum that we've been talking to each other.

Here's a picture.
