Default How To REALLY Fix your old G1 carb!

Here we are again. It has been about two years since I posted this thread. I have been having to do some serious work on my old '82 and it is all spread out in its respective parts right now so I have been looking at some other things I have just lived with.

When I installed the slotted bushing, it did take almost all the wobble out of the Throttle Shaft, but it still allowed a pretty good little hole to suck air into the carb. So I though I would improve on the design of my little project. I wanted a solid bushing.

1. In the first picture is the disassembled throttle shaft hole, the old slotted bushing, and what would become the new solid bushing.

2. In the second picture is the screws that held the throttle plate in place. My Throttle Shaft has had a hard life, and it was all I could do to get the old screws out. The top one came out just fine, but the bottom one would not budge! I had buggered it up a bit before I got a soldier iron out and heated that sucker up. I was able to break it free after that. The screws on the right are from an old B&G carb off of a generator. Thank goodness they fit just fine!

EDIT: Some of these pictures are cropped close ups from large pictures and they might take a little longer to load.
