I was out for a lovely cruise yesterday evening, and while heading home the throttle rod fell off the carburetor

I ended up using the little nose wire from my covid mask to reattach the linkage and drive home. Because 2020.

Looks like the little e-clip fell off and disappeared. It's about time I made a little go-bag for this car with tools, wire, tape, headlamp... Also kind of amazing that the throttle rod only stays on the carb with that little friction-fit e-clip. Do folks change that out for a different retention mechanism?

Mine fell off on a spirited run up to the local mountains. I was lucky, the clip was on the intake. While I was putting it back on, local CHP pulls in behind me. He checks out the Z, we chat for a bit as he holds his light for me, nice young man! Acted like he never seen a Z28 up close!
