It has an auto choke carb on it so someone changed out the carb at one point. I think they just bent and cut things to make it fit. I'm going to try straightening it a little at a time until it clears then see if I have full throttle travel. I may need to cut a section out of the middle to shorten it when I straighten it it might make it too long.
