The thick rod to the right is coming from the accelerator pedal portion of the linkage that is fastened to the firewall and goes to the carb. The thinner rod to the left is fastened to an adjustable bracket that is positioned at about midpoint on the thick rod. It goes back to the second lever which is attached to the throttle cross rod supported by brackets on the back of the engine. The other end of that cross rod has another lever which fastens to the rod going down to the transmission. The adjustment bracket and attachment for the thinner rod is provided to fine tune the throttle pressure to account for differences in carbs and linkage.
