    The vertical holes are to support a throttle cable from a twist throttle. Your engine may have an intake manifold, with this feature, from a newer engine that had a twist throttle.

    I think that the travel of your magneto control lever will be limited by the lower cowls, when they are mounted.

    Someone did a nice job of fabricating a shift handle. The correct one is round rod stock with a round black knob.
