Terry, I'll try to take a picture or two in the next few days, but the hand throttle does not have it's own independent linkage to the carburetor, it uses the same linkage that the accelerator pedal uses and is connected to that via an articulated arm and the little bevel gearset at the base of the steering column. Easy to see in a picture, not so easy to describe in words. I rarely use it, I just hold the accelerator pedal partially open while activating the starter.
