Gas linkage? You mean what connects the carb/tb to the gas tank?

I've never noticed any slack in the gas line. I'm not even sure how swapping to apes would cause a slackness to occur in the gas line.

If he does mean throttle cable....

simply adjust it. If you're not sure how to do so, it's strongly suggested you purchase a service manual for your year and model.
