Rusty, Here are some pics of my 30U. This is the later model with the fuel pump and the water pump, but not sure if that makes any difference. The first section of the hand throttle rod connects to the lever out the bottom of the column just prior to the light switch. I goes to the swivel on the side of the engine. The second rod goes from there to the foot pedal connection. Note the spring and its connection. Mine as a movable spring connector on that rod. I have another rod that doesn't have that spring connector, presumably from a different year. If you have any other questions just post or contact me at chiefgr@hotmail.com
Will post more pics in next posts.
