Paddle on the intake

MY 82 Datsun Diesel has the Bosch/Kiki IP. the intake has a carburator looking little thing that has a paddle inside, controled by the foot feed. this controls the amount of air injested. there are 2 vacuum lines from this to the back of the IP, which contain the governor. there is a leather diaphram that seperates the 2 sides of the gov. one vac. line on either side which pushes or pulls against the diaphram to control the fuel.
I know there are levers etc.. inside and more to it than just that.

There is also a bolt with a lock nut to add or increase fuel on the back of the IP.

This engine is naturally exasperated, no turbo.

I guess the boost line from the intake manifold to the ALDA does the same sort of thing on the MB. except with boost instead of vacuum.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
