The carb on my super 250 was leaking fuel pretty bad. It is a flatback, but I just so happen to have a hl63e. Any problems with this swap? I have all the linkage

I personally find a flat back to be a monumental pain in the buttocks .Why in the name of any resemblance of common sense they used those things is beyond me .

Right. Looks like the swap to the hl is simple.

I got the carbs swapped and it fired up. How do you get the throttle linkage out? Tap the pin out of the trigger?

If it's a roll pin which frankly I can't remember ,use a small pin punch .Tap tap tap not thump thump thump with a BFH .

It looks to be a roll pin. I can't find any other way to access the linkage. Got it, tap tap not thump thump. So I should put the jack hammer away?

Jackhammer.
Your sure it's not "jackass with a hammer" Randy? If you use a big enough hammer and hit hard enough you can seriously fracture the magnesium making linkage removal a snap. Unfortunately I've seen this done before. It's probably the same folks who cut wiring harnesses at wrecking yards as apposed to simply unplugging them OK rant over.

Well I looked at it any way .The trigger appears to be held in with a solid pin,probably knurled .In looking at both a 250 with a flatty and one with a Tilley HL it looks to me the throttle linkage would work on either .Might need to be reshaped a tad.

I just went ahead and swapped them. The one with the flatback had a bracket to hold the linkage, that screwed onto the carb. The hl did not.
