John, you basically want to go from pedal to carb with long-to-short, long-to-short at the rod ends...the longest lever connects via rods to the shortest lever. That way, 45 degrees of pedal will move say an inch at the other end where the first rod connects, but at the other end of the rod, that inch moves a short lever more than 45 degrees, say 60 degrees. That 60 degree rotation moves a lever at the other end of a rod the same 60 degrees, but the end of the lever (use the longest available) moves an inch and a half at the rod end, so the other end of the rod (at the carb arm by now?) moves an inch and a half...pick a hole in the carb that will put the carb at WOT with the 1 1/2 inch travel...long/short, long/short...
