These are needed for the proper gradual openning of the secondary flaps,
without the rod the secondary flaps will open way too fast. Their is also a
spring adjustment to change the tension on the secondary flaps. Don't screw
with it unless you have a bunch of time to get it working once you screw it
up. May not be that much of a problem on a boat, but on a car, it amounts
to a hellatious bog. The qjet is a great carb, but it is not as easy to get
working unless you know how it works. Most people don't. Their is a great
book on it from HP BOOKS, I think. Another alternative is to get a spread
bore 800cfm holley. I have used them, and they work pretty well. Not marine
approved, but hey, that't what fire extinguishers are for ;-).
