Default Evolution 26 throttle linkage question

I just mounted my Evolution 26cc engine on my plane but I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to hook the throttle linkage to the carb.
Can anyone give me some info about what method and parts you used to make this connection?
Some pictures of your setup would be great!!!

I had the same issue. Contacted Horizon and didn't get an answer. They couldn't understand the problem. I went online here and did not get an answer. I finally used nyrod and a very large bend to get it to work. I constantly have to fiddle with it to keep it working correctly. Chocking is another matter. I finally gave up on any solution and just use a starter to spin the motor, prior to starting, for about 5 minutes to pump fuel to the carb. Then it will start. I like the way this engine runs, it has plenty of power, but Horizon really should redesign the carb abd linkage problem.

Steve, what part did you use to connect your nyrod to the carb? The angle of the throttle on the carb is kind of crazy but I know there a many of these engines in use so I figured there would be lots of info here about it
I'm thinking some sort of a bell crank set up may work but I'm not sure yet. I've been told this engine is made by MVVS for Evolution, is this true?

A normal straight nyrod just works fine if you fit a small extension plate with ball link on the carb butterfly shaft. Pictures have been posted all over RCU.
On top of that, the carb can be rotated to get the carb shafts perpendicular to the crankshaft. I consider this engine the easiest to set up of all.

I have several of these engines and you need to do a mod on that throttle arm. Take your dremel and grind off the brass on of the throttle arm and you can remove it leaving a post for you to mount a new arm. Take a dubro nose gear steering arm and use a #12 drill bit to enlarge the hole in the arm. Then simply attach the steering arm to the brass throttle post. Problem solved, longer arm, easier access and longer throw so you can used the full throw from your servo to give you better throttle response.

Here are two methods - which both extend the arm from c/l of the throttle shaft - about 3/4" -to 1" is highly desirable
one method is a arm from ZDZ-the other is a servo arm with two existing holes in the Evolution carb, tapped to 4/40
both, very easy to do
these methods retain the original throttle stop - very desireable in my book

This is how I did the hook on an old plane I had.
