Accelerator Hookup

I've got an easy one for someone: how to hook up the accelerator properly. Currently the pedal goes all the way to the floor rather than standing up properly. The throttle spring looks like it's in the right place, but I can't find a diagram in the manual so I can confirm what's right and what's wrong about the setup. Anyone have a picture they can send my way?

Thanks,
-Todd

I'll post a few photos of the stock accelerator linkage which is really a rube goldberg affair. Anyhow, as an alternative to this deal you can install a straight rod from a later model. If you need higher res photos send me your email via a PM. Use phoetic equivalents of your email.
