Procedure

  2. Carefully and slowly remove the screws securing the throttle plate to throttle shaft. Remove the throttle plate.
  3. File off any burrs which may have been left on the throttle shaft when the screws were removed. Do this before removing the throttle shaft from carburetor body.
  4. Remove the throttle lever/shaft assembly with foam dust seal from carburetor body.
