I have put arrows on the photo to help you, you will need to straighten the link rod from the yellow arrow (the loop) to the end (right) the red arrow ie it should be straight from the loop to the end of the rod to carb. there should also be a spring (governor spring) in that loop I believe. you also have the breather tube missing from the valve cover.

There's something just not right with that set up, that I can't figure out. On the loop there should be a spring, but the part diagram doesn't show one. This leads me to believe that it may not be the correct link. Second, on this type of generator there should also be a tensioner to keep it at a constant running speed. This keeps the voltage and hertz consant and prevents burning up whatever is plugged in. Can you post the full model and serial numbers for both the engine and unit.
thank you,greatly appreciate the help...will try craigslist again to see if someone will take pics of the one they are selling..
