I had some success today. The way I attatched the cable to the carb linkage was with two pieces of steel with a hole at each end 1" apart. I secured them to the carb with a small bolt and two nuts counter-tightened to allow slack in the linkage and not come loose. It works well. I had the nuts a little too tight so that's fixed now.

The other weird part that I haven't figured out yet is that the carb linkage is actually getting stuck internally. It slows the return to idle and makes the gas pedal stiff at first. Is there any place I should lube? Maybe run premix? Or plumb the OMP into the carb float bowl like a Holley?
