Erik, Man, thanks for posting the picture of your OP 52 K throttle lever arm. I was discussing the situation with a friend today and he mentioned he had a lever arm that looks exactly like the one you have pictured. We are thinking now that the lever arm in your picture is for 1952 only and in 1953, they went to the 27267-49 style like I have pictured. In the 1953 Spare Parts Book it shows the lever arm as a 27268-49 but lists the 27267-49 in the parts description. Not sure if that is just another parts book screw up or what. In the factory photo of the 1952 K motor right and left side, that's in the literature section, you can pretty clearly make out that the lever arm is as you have pictured. So, for right now, I think it is reasonable to assume that 1952 had its own lever arm and in 1953 they changed to the curved two-hole style. Do you suppose it had something to do with the faster throttle action for 1953?
