moved by detaching the fast idle cam and pump rod
and removing the four attaching screws. No attempt
should be made to service the throttle lever bearing.
If the action is sticky or binding to the point that the
throttle return spring cannot overcome the binding,
the throttle lever assembly should be replaced.
CAUTION: Since the idle ports in the throttle
body were drilled after the throttle body was
assembled, the throttle valves were nicked dur­
ing the drilling operation. No attempt should be
made to remove the throttle valve or to further
disassemble the throttle body, since any slight
change in positioning of the throttle valves with
relation to the idle ports would seriously disrupt
carburetor operation.
