Long story short.  Throttle respose died on trip to california.  Managed the setup that is in enclosed picture to get me back to canada.  I am sure that there is a piesce missing and if someone has a picture of the piece missing or knows what is missing it would be much appreciated.Thanks  John

I'll try to get over to my 1990 U280 later today and take a picture of the throttle linkage for you and post here on the forum.  Mine is a 250hp Cat, but is probably the same.

Here is a picture of the other end of the linkage where it connects to the air actuator--- can't see much.  The switch on the top of the actuator is for the BD exhaust brake.
