<VV> Turkey Roaster Secret

[Frank DuVal]

I agree. Remove the accelerator rod from the transmission bellcrank and 
loosen the front nut on the idler pulley to allow it to flip backwards. 
Also, the choke linkages do need to be unscrewed and removed, with the 
female part remaining sticking 1" up out of the head. If you remove the 
idler pully assembly I think you may twist and turn and be successful 
without removing the accelerator rod, but it is much easier if you do.

Brute force is not needed here. :-)
