Here is the picture. Hope it helps. I believe it is a 2100 also.

yes that is a stock setup for sure. for our trucks. it looks like the accelorator pump is leaking on that carb.

Re: springs on throttle linkage
that little spring can probably be gotten anywhere. it isnt anything special.

Re: springs on throttle linkage
I am glad I looked at this post. I took a few pictures of my carberator to post because one guy looked at it and said the linkage looked "messed up" I don't think any of my springs look like that. where does one find proper length and tension, or does it even mater? Sorry for the hijack, I just had to jump in here, as I am getting ready to rebuild my autolite 2100.
Matter of fact, I have two bunged up springs where the longer one is in the picture. They both hook to the same spot on the carb, and they hook under the coil mount at the other end.
Sorry again, I'll make my own post when the time comes.
Take a look at this train wreck!
This is how it probably should NOT look.
Good luck!

Re: springs on throttle linkage
the extra spring was not there from the factory but the linkage looks right from what i can see of it.
