Installed New Mixture Arm

The shorter mixture arm arrived from Precision Airmotive today.  I installed it and then spent a little time adjusting the various linkages to get proper movement.  Here is the linkage in the idle cutoff position.

And here it is in the full rich position.  The shorter throw meant I could easily go stop to stop at the mixture arm.  With the longer arm, I could either hit one stop or the other, but not both.

Here you can sort of see that there is plenty of clearance between the mixture arm and the starter now.  At its closest, there is at least 1/4″ between these two.  Since all of this is rigidly mounted to the engine, this is plenty to ensure that these will never make contact.
