Tamper resistant carburetor link-lever connector

In a carburetor for an internal combustion engine, the carburetor having a choke valve mounted on a choke shaft, a first lever attached to one end of the choke shaft, a second lever pivotally attached to the carburetor and bearing against the first lever when rotated in the proper direction to produce rotation of the first lever, a throttle lever and a link interconnecting the throttle lever and the second lever, the improvement comprising tamper resistant means for connecting the link to the throttle lever, the tamper resistant means including rotary means having a longitudinal bore extending substantially therethrough and a transverse bore through which the link extends, the longitudinal bore and the transverse bore intersecting each other, and clevis means comprising a pin insertable through an opening in the throttle lever, the pin having a head larger in diameter than the diameter of the opening, the diameter of the pin being substantially equal to the diameter of the longitudinal bore in the rotary means for the pin to be inserted into the bore, the end of the pin inserted thereinto having a generally U-shaped opening at its end, the length of the opening being greater than the diameter of the link and the width of the opening being substantially equal thereto, and the inner end of the longitudinal bore having a decreasing diameter whereby the sidewalls of the U-shaped portion of the pin are pinched together and press against the body of the link to capture the link in the rotary means with sufficient force to prevent adjustment of the link.
