looks like the pivot linkage back to carb is missing , you might find a picture to help out out there, models and years are different. also that cable pull should be secured as close to the end as possible for mechanical advantage, along with a through lubrication of that cable for easy use. pete

Ok so I removed that random bracket off and came up with this I have a tab sticking off  and asand asI turned it the Gov spring got tighter so I found a spot where things were neutral and made a cable clamp and that's what I ended up with I did lubricated the cable and housing. My glass fuel bowl was gummed up so I took it apart I need to make a new cork gasket unless they sell them and re do the fuel line also I seen there is no oil or mesh in the air filter so I read a few things in here and seen guys put stainless mesh and non detergent oil in the filters.

I think you may want to get a longer cable so it will come up straight from the bottom like Craig's. Looks like that may bind on you.

Well I put some fuel in the fuel line of the rj59 I looked up the casting on the rear and it turned out it's a Feb 5 1959 rj but any way pulled and pull nothing happened so I pulled the motor and the carb and it was just full of crusty hard stuff. Not a varnish but a hard flaky white crust. So should I soak this carb and rebuild or just buy a replacement if soak it what do you recommend carb cleaner did not even take it off. And should I just pull the motor apart and rebuild it or just go with it and check the gaps and run it
