That's because you should have 022A's on a '75, which  should look an awful lot like the expolded diagram I posted earlier.  The link jumps to a carb that has the throttle cable directly attached to the slider, like on my 175 (2 carbs)

csendker,
Friendly suggestion.  When you post pointers, add a little text to delineate them so they pop out as separate.  Review your post and note the number of views disparity in your links.
I missed that the first link was even there the first time I read it.

Good, informative post, though.
Cheers,

Please download your Service Manual here:

And find a parts manual as well, or a microfiche and reader.  You'll save yourself 1,000 headaches.
