Here are a few photos of various types of carb linkages. Two are a VV 20 with a mechanical choke linkage that comes out the front of the cowl.Two are of a DLE 55 that uses a choke servo behind the firewall. Bolt on ball links used wherever possible for security. Pushrods are steel and I don't worry about them. Before switching to 2.4, I used the same setups on 72 for many years also without problems. Servos are usually mounted a few inches behind the firewall in front of the tank. I always extend the choke arm for ease of use.
