A quick question. What is the wrench size for the nuts on the SU HS2 linkage? Both 11/32 SAE and 1/8W are a bit too loose.

If you're talking about the interconnecting linkages, I just checked mine. A 5/16" nutdriver fits on the choke linkage, but that is the head of the bolt. A 5/16 won't fit the throttle linkage, so I use a 11/16". Its a little loose, but tight enough to work. But, that is on the nut. The bolts on the throttle linkage are in such that you're tightening the nut. I'm wondering if the nuts are just buggered up a little and thats why the 5/16 won't fit. Maybe a 9mm will fit, but I don't have one - seems metric sets go from 8 to 10 and skip 9!

My metric set has a 9mm. Haven't messed with those nuts for awhile so can't help much.
