The bottom right switch controlled a full throttle enrichment system, which as it turns out i no longer use as i found another way of doing that.
The upper left switch resets a overrun fuel cut off system that is actuated by a slight touch on the brake pedal. A manifold vacuum switch also resets that system restarting fuel flow.
I dont use that system all that much now that i went to EFI but i used it all the time back when i was using a carburettor.
The only way I know of to get a perfect "working" throttle cable is to build it yourself, especially if you have clanged the height of the carb. I thought your "Drum " set up was very good!Most owners as you point out are unaware that they may not be achieving "full throttle" but to get their can be especially challenging, I finally after years of half measures, have created a full throttle cable, it is comprised of a "Lokar" stainless cable I cut to a custom length, a summit bracket, and a "roller" feeding the cable directly into the center of the cable. This allows a full pull on the carb custom linkage arm. All applications should have duel return springs.
