Procedure

1. Because the edges of throttle plate are beveled, mark the throttle plate and carburetor body with a marking pen to ensure correct reassembly. Also take note of the throttle plate position in bore, and the position of the throttle lever.
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.
