    Wouldn't both would pull on the same arm?

    If there really is a difference it will be that with the linkage any engine vibration will wiggle the throttle slightly - which won't happen with the cable. Resulting in more wear on the throttle spindle.

    the throttle shaft doesn't wear anywhere near as quickly

    less mass suspended from the linkage and less vibration issues.

    I've ordered a Zenith along with a new lift pump. The fuel tanks are currently getting restored so the fuel system will be as good as new.

    I'll stick with the original linkages set up for the accelerator.

    I'll get some pics up once I receive the parts.

    Thanks heaps!

    86MUD,
    what does the restoration process of the fuel tanks consist of?
