Linkage problem, what am I doing wrong?

I’ve been fiddling with the snowblower for a few hours now changing the carb oil and cleaning the tank however, putting on this linkage, unfortunately I’m having some issues where the link won’t retract back to the closed position. Has anyone encountered this and what was the fix? Running out of ideas here my first time fixing the snowblower.

Do I need to return my custom orthotics?

Hi community,
I have two pairs of custom orthotics, the most recently being the one in blue. The one in the camel color l've had for about closer to five years.

I was comparing the two and I noticed the one in blue has a way slimmer arch than the one in camo. It seems like my new ones don't have as much of a correction.

The employee I went to also seems new to the custom orthotic world.

My question is, should I return to do another foot casting or experiment and see how the new blue customer orthotics fit? My concern is comparing the two the old camel colour has way more of a correction. You could see the height difference in one of the photos.

What is ideal for flat foot?

The company I went to has a good reputation and did say if I needed any adjustments to let them know and worst case can do an entire recast.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi snowblower community. First post but long time lurker.

I have an old Yard Machine / MTD 24 inch snowblower. I’ve seen replacement carb on Amazon for $30 or so but I heard some hit / miss on those Amazon carbs.

Is my current carb worth cleaning up or just get a new one? My preference would be to clean and stick with OEM, I have all tools and cleaners.

The throttle plate / butterfly valve open and close freely on both sides and are clean. No rust or residue that I can visual see other than the old fuel gunk in the center.

The blower was used very minimally, probably less than 20 hours lifetime. It just sat in storage for years with no maintenance.

Approximate age of the machine is about 15 years or so.

Thanks in advance!
