Those who are only familiar with slide carburetors such as Mikuni or Dell'Orto will have a new experience with a Linkert on Harley models such as Knucklehead, Panhead, or Flathead: The throttle lever is not pulled, but pushed with a rigid wire. Modern custom throttle grips, on the other hand, work by pulling.
The Bates Throttle Conversion Kit makes it possible to combine pull-type throttle cables with Linkert carburetors. It relocates the pivot point so that the throttle cable is at the optimum angle. The throttle valve then closes automatically by means of a spring.
The kit fits all Linkert M-series carburetors with lever types from 1949–1965 (OEM 27260-49 or WW 65-265). Some adjustment may be necessary for accessory intake manifolds and clamps. Barnett throttle cables are recommended because of their excellent running characteristics.
