The pull rod to the carb is adjustable for length. In addition, that fat part there in the middle is a spring loaded joint that is supposed to give when you tromp it for kickdown. That way you don't yank the arm off the side of the carb before the linkage hits the kickdown switch.

These joints are often frozen from disuse. Take the rod off and clamp it up in a vise. A little yanking, twisting and loose juice will get it going.
