<VV> Carburetor rebuilding question

[Geoff Johnson]

I replace them anytime I build a set of carbs.  All you have to do is grind 
the lever thing off of the end of the old shaft.  The metal on the end of 
the shaft  is peened over the lever thing so it is really pretty simple. 
Then you need to remove the screws from the old shaft/throttle plate.  This 
is the trickiest as the screws were peened at the factory to keep them from 
coming loose.  Select an appropriate sized screwdriver and carefully back 
them out.  Then slide the old shaft out, put the new one in and reinstall 
the throttle plate with new screws.  Be sure to get it adjusted and seated 
properly.  Then screw the lever thing back on with the supplied screws and 
your set.
