Cleaning Mark's engine I found what looked like a set screw laying in the engine. After closer examination I found where it belonged. Both are missing from the left carb.
What are there purpose ? Linkage side.  |

It's a cone ended screw and a lock nut thats missing in the photo. These hold the Venturi in place. |

That's what I thought. But wanted to check.
I'll see if I can find something at Ace that might work. Thanks for the quick response. |

The correct bolt should have a beveled point that sits in the venturi tube. . they are suppose to be finger / plus tight had held secure with safety wire

I'll shoot a picture of what I found tomorrow.
The nut didn't seem unique. |

Theres usually a nut that goes over the set screw and gets tightened to the carb body, locking the set screw
