I'm asking about parts 73-76 on the diagram. One of the retainers (#76) broke and when I disassembled the carb and items 74 & 75 went flying. I though I remember reading a while ago that these parts do not need to be reinstalled and the hole can be plugged. I tried the search function but could not find where I read it. Some thoughts if I don't need to reinstall these parts is to thread the hole and install a plug, or JB weld it shut, or JB weld the plunger (#73) in the hold to seal it off. My carbs have a block off plate on the side and no actual choke linkage (item 59). Thanks |

OK, carbs are rebuilt and adjusted. I was able to do the mod to add set screws to hold the starter valves seated on 1 carb but the other carb did not have starter valves. Instead someone had tapped the hole below the starter valve seat, basically in the passage from the starter valve to the exit on the bottom of the carb. So I reinstalled these small setscrews using blue locktite. Got the carbs adjusted and went for a 75 mile drive and it ran great. Thanks for the help...
