Hi Paul, I should have this actuating arm for you! I send you some pix tomorrow. Ciao, Gert
Thanks Clem, thanks Gert. It's a very long story.
It's part 77 here.
I've been on these carbs maybe 6 weeks. Everything that could go wrong did.
-Screws of the backing plate which wouldn't come out and needing a slot cut in them to move them.
-The needle jets stuck in the atomisers. I managed to drill the heads off the needle jets and then knock the stubs and the atomisers out towards the top of the carb. The twit who'd put the jets in had used Loctite on them.
-Then I cleaned up and reassembled the carbs with all new bits including some NOS slides I'd found in my pile of bits and rods to replace the slide cables also found in my pile.
-I'd bought parts including a new backing plate and all the necessary linkages some time ago except that the right hand arm wasn't there. And then I spent ten days looking for the original part that was on the carbs. I had put all the bits from the 3 carbs in 3 individual clear plastic bags on dismantling. Over the last 10 days, I looked into the parts that had come off the carbs very many times and it's only today, after having sent wanted messages out that I found the bloody thing.
So thanks again, but the right hand carb is now assembled and I hope to get the carbs on the bike tomorrow which will leave me with just the wiring and a Redax alternator/ignition kit to do before start up.

See: Andy Wagner Laverda
I had Andy on the phone this midday. He is out of stock on that part.
Dell'Orto no longer lists the part.
Then I found my missing one in the garage.

Thanks Matt but I found my bit.
I have plenty of twin carb bits but absolutely nothing for triples. I haven't ridden a triple since the 90s and sold my decaying old 3CL years ago.
