Struggling with the linkage, how?

Yes you'll need a reg set to about 3psi.

The lever joins in the middle of the carbs yes.

You can use a gsi throttle cable, with the ball-end cut off.
You can get a universal 1m carb for about ?3 tho.

Yes you could use the gsi pump, but would need wire it to a switch, and get a regulator that can cope with 45psi.

would it be better to just use the facet pump then? do you know where i could get a reg for a facet pump?

Eurocarb/FastRoad cars on ebay sell regs.

Facet pump is lower pressure so suits carbs better, so use that if you have one.
