4.
Note the position of the choke lever with re-
spect to the cut out portion of the choke
shaft.
5.
Carefully grind or file away the riveted portion
of the shaft. Remove and save the choke
lever; discard the old choke shaft.
6.
Attach the choke lever to the new choke shaft
from the kit. Make sure the lever is installed
correctly as noted in step 4. Secure lever to
choke shaft as follows:
Models K9 1 - K181 ,- Apply Loctite to threads of 1
#2-56
x
7/32"
brass screw. Secure lever to shaft.
Models K241 - K341 ,- Apply Loctite to threads of 1
#3-48
x
7/32"
brass screw. Secure lever to shaft.
Remove Throttle Plate and Throttle Shaft;
Transfer Throttle Lever
1 . To ensure correct reassembly, mark throttle
plate and carburetor body with a marking pen.
Also take note of the throttle plate position in
the bore and the throttle lever position.
2.
Carefully and slowly remove the screws secur-
ing the throttle plate to throttle shaft. Remove
and save the throttle plate for reuse.
3.
File off any burrs that may have been left on
the throttle shaft when screws were removed.
NOTE: Failure to remove burrs from the throttle
shaft may cause permanent damage to carburetor
body when shaft is removed.
4.
Remove throttle shaft from carburetor body.
Remove and discard the foam rubber dust seal
from the throttle shaft.
5.
Remove and transfer the throttle lever as fol-
lows:
Models K91 - K181 (112" Garb.),-
Carefully grind or file away the riveted portion of
the throttle shaft. Save the throttle shaft as it will
be used to install the new throttle shaft bushing.
Discard the throttle lever.
Models K241 - K341 (1" Garb.),-
a.
Note the position of the throttle lever with re-
spect to the cutout portion of the throttle
shaft.
b. Carefully grind or file away the riveted portion
of the shaft. Remove the throttle lever.
c.
Compare the old shaft with the new shafts in

Drill Choke Shaft Bores Using A Drill
Press
1. Mount the carburetor body in a drill press vise.
Keep the vise jaws slightly loose.
2.
Install a drill bit of the following size in the drill
press chuck. Lower the bit (not rotating)
through both choke shaft bores; then tighten
vise. This ensures accurate alignment of the
carburetor body with the drill press chuck.
Models K91 - K181 (1 12" Garb.); Use a 7132" di-
ameter drill bit.
Models K241 - K341 (1" Garb.); Use a 1 /4" di-
ameter drill bit.
Refer to Figure
6-9.
Figure 6-9. Aligning/Drilling Carburetor Body.
3.
Install a 19/64" drill bit in the chuck. Set drill
press to a low speed suitable for aluminum.
Drill slowly to ensure a good finish.
4.
Ream the choke shaft bores to a final size of
5/16".
For best results use a piloted 5/16"
reamer.
5.
Blow out all metal chips using compressed air.
Thoroughly clean the carburetor body in carbu-
retor cleaner.
