Hi no I am not aware of these procedures if you can help.

I have a day tomorrow to test. First I am going to do the oil test and then move forward with these suggestions.

The point of the linkage tour is that the linkage is adjusted so that throttle plate is closed and the injection pump lever is against the stop at idle and that they both move simultaneously when the throttle is opened.

When you have achieved this you can separate the linkage to see if you are rich or lean by opening the throttle plate or moving the pump lever.  You basically did this earlier but now you need to get the linkage back to spec.

BTW, I am not a night owl, I am in France at the moment.
