No!!!! The throttle linkage you show would not be a good idea as you have metal to metal contact (metal rod, metal arm on carb) which would eat you alive with glitching. I always use Sulivan Nyrod with the included 2-56 1" long piece of threaded rod with a plastic ball link connector screwed on and of course, the matching ball on the throttle arm of the carb. This way, it is only plastic on metal contact which is safe. I am sure you have read up on the many other safeguards of a gasser haven't you?????
