I think so. Just to clarify...
When you hit the accelerator pedal the linkage rotates and the fork lifts which in turn lifts the metering rods. When you release the accelerator pedal the fork lowers until it hits the two buttons. What I am wondering is when the fork lowers does it force the metering rods back down or does gravity do that? or are they spring loaded. If gravity does it then the metering rods on my carb are stuck in the full open position. If the middle fork is connected to the rods then the spring/connector isn't connected. If they are spring loaded I have more problems than I thought. ;)

Thanks!!!
