Because my carbs face in the opposite directions between the drivers side and the passenger side, the cross link must be placed on a diagonal between the the two sets of throttle shafts. This geometry results in slightly different opening rates between the two banks of carbs depending upon throttle shaft angles. If all of my carbs were mounted in the same direction and all the throttle shafts rotated in the same direction, I would agree that a single cross link would work as good as a center bellcrank. Perhaps I am missing something? Suggestions for modification of a single cross link mechanism would be appreciated.
