If you aren't trying for concourse looks, the hole in the throttle shaft can be drilled with a #31 drill bit and a 1/8"x1/2" roll pin driven into the hole to secure the throttle stop arm. I have mounted the carb in a vice (padded to prevent scratching the body), and placing the throttle shaft stop arm with it's adjustment screw extending about 1/16" beyond the arm. Hold the butterfly valve closed and the throttle stop arm against the flat of the carb body and carefully drill through the hole in the throttle stop arm. The purists would say use a drill press, but I've been lucky just carefully hand holding the drill. Then just tap in the roll pin. One other point...The throttle shaft extends further out of the carb on one side than the other, so be sure you drill the correct end of the throttle shaft (This warning comes from the voice of experience!!!).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Good Luck!!</div><div><br></div><div>Barry<br></div></span></body></html>
