What happens if that "gate valve" is just flopping around loose not hooked to anything?
Would that effect performance?

It sure will. If it's flopping around then nothing can control it. The control rod should be attached at both ends, if not, it may come on unexpectedly. You should wire it in the open position.

2 more questions?
I cant see the linkage but I can feel it.
It feels like its spring loaded?
Should I be able to just clip the linkage back on the ball on the gate?

I unplugged the wires and I think it ran worse so I plugged them back in.
So I want to try and hook up the linkage properly and see what that does.
