Anyone familiar with the Stromberg EX-22 carb that can tell me the reason for the linkage rod on the right side in this picture. As it sits there I can see no purpose. The lower arm is I pivot that does not engage with the throttle, it just pivots. The upper end is where the manual choke connects. I can see no reason this action is transmitted by the rod to the pivot on the bottom end of the carb. Any details would be appreciated. Thank you.
