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
