Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Just to add to your carb experience...
When grinding off the staked ends of the screws, grind them flush with the shaft. The screws break so easily, being that small...as you (and I) experienced...

The 3 carbs I have built with Cliff parts are all later model. not sure that the shafts are same.
I was able to remove pri. and sec. shafts together. You have to pull the linkage wide open to do this. and deal with that goofy sec. shaft spring. It's a doozy!!!

I had to hone the insides of the bushings with scotchbrite, mine were too tight.

That pin on the sec. shaft of RH side of carb is not really needed. It is an emergency stop in case the driver tries to achieve full throttle with choke activated...
