Throttle Linkage Detail
Throttle Linkage Detail
Here's a pic of my throttle linkage. Is this detailed properly? Anything else that seems out of place? Thanks

What is that chicken wire doing on those carbs?

Not Stock.
GS,
Everything seems to be in order, but if you want me to nit pick, I believe the nuts holding the throttle rod bearings should be black oxide, and the Ferrari Logo should be Black wrinkle like the rest of the cam cover.
I also think the blue hose that goes from the brake reservoirs to the M/C should be black. If you want to change the color "down and dirty," you can take them off and spray paint them with flat black paint. The cloth will absorb the paint and look fine.

Yea I noted the chicken wire as well, which I will remove...lol. I have 3 small air filters inside the large oval air claeaner assemby that appear pretty dirty. Can someone direct me to source for them as well?
I'll work on the hoses...
I was waiting for the sarcasm about the location of the distributor cap...
Thanks

Tom Y,
I'm sorry for the double post. I posted, then moved on to other threads. When I hit the back button too many times, it reposted again.
I looked up one or two other 330s and have seen the error of my ways. I thought all the V12s had the same throttle linkage geometry.

Another point to make is about the nuts that hold the air filter assembly in place. Originally, I believe they came with washers and nylock nuts. We usually eliminate the washers and use only the nylock nuts. There is usually enough material for the nuts to hold down the air cleaner. Eliminating the washers lessens the chance of having a one fall down into a carburetor. That would be bad.
As far as air cleaners are concerned, go to your most friendly auto parts store, and start looking among the boxes!

Okay, now were getting down to the reason for the chicken wire...loltyang wrote:Another point to make is about the nuts that hold the air filter assembly in place.
