snow blower linkage HELP
I have a Sears snow blower Model 247.88664 I took the carb off & cleaned it & all ready to go BUT I cant seem to hook up the linkage no matter how hard I try 
I bet I tried at least two hrs or more I dont give up easy but I finaly had to walk away. It has springs on which I did not fool with the rod with the 2 z bends I dont know which holes they go in & should the leaver be up or down or closed I though I tried every combo 
ANY HELP PLEASE

Stamped into the engine shroud, near the spark pug. If you have electric start it could be under recepticle. If not there on a tag on the side on the carb side.

Do these pics help? If you are unsure of what hole the linkage came out of, look closely often the one used will show some wear and be a little eggshaped.

You will not see anything actually "move" when lifting throttle control. What you will find is when throttle is in slow/off position governor arm will move with little,no resistance. When you move to full throttle arm will be tight and spring back

Well I hooked up everthing & still wont run it runs if I take out plug & put a couple drops of gas. Nows heres another question going to the carb is the gas line gas flows free no prolbem on the other side a smaller hose its going to primber bulb I felt air comeing from the out side of the carb the bulb does not seem to get hard when primeing the hose is on the carb & the other end is at the priming bulb can this be the prolbem.

When you put the carb back together didi you adust the high speed needle on the bottom and the idle circuit needle on the side?
The bottom should be turned all the way in until it sets and then backed out 1 1/2 turns, the side needle 1 turn out.
