'59 dual 270hp carb linkage

[Barry K.]

hi all

a friend of mine has a '59 with the 2x4 270hp carb set-up. He's having a problem and doesn't think he's getting full WOT on the rear carb and suspects the linkage may be the issue.
does anyone have any good, detailed photos of a correctly set-up linkage they can post or email to me that I can pass on to him to reference.

Also, he is getting a small leak from the passenger side of the rear carb and also one on the driver's side front of the same carb. Could this be from the floats being set too high?

Thanks for any help

Well I don't have a drawing of the linkage some one els will ,but the leakage problem of floats can be checked by removing the two side screws to see if gas pours out, if so the floats are stuck or adjusted to high.
