original choke shaft bushing with the old choke
lever from the carburetor housing. Save the
bushing to use as a driver for installing the new
bushing. Discard the old lever.

required.
7. Insert the new bushing through the new choke
lever from the outside, and start the bushing in the

between the two stops formed in the choke lever.
See Figure 5-33.
