Default zdz80 throttle linkage question

i recently purchased a used zdz80...it came with the ball links but no connectors.....rcs says they dont have any...i tried making my own linkage - but it came loose from the carb after 5 minutes (did you know a zdz80 will run for 1 hour at 1/4 throttle on 32 ounces of gas???!!) any suggestions?

Ed,
This is what my linkage looks like. Not sure what you are missing?

Maybe you're talking about the ball link nylon pieces?

You can pop out the brass balls in the part listed below to fit the ball throttle/choke extension on a ZDZ-80:

Dubro 2160 Swivel Ball Link 4-40

On all of the pieces I have used, the cup (or groove) for the ball is not perfectly centered. Make sure you orient the part so that the ball is more fully captured.
