10. Slide the choke shaft and spring, into the
carburetor. Pivot (preload) the shaft and set the
inner leg of the spring, against the formed stop
within the choke lever as originally assembled.
See Figures 5-31 and 5-28. The opposing leg of the
spring must still be between the formed stops of
the choke shaft.
11. Place a drop of the Loctite
new screw. Install the new choke plate to the flat
side of the choke shaft and start the two screws.
The larger cutout must be on the right. Close
the choke and check the plate alignment within
the carburetor throat, then tighten the screws
securely. Do not overtighten.
12. Check for proper operation and free movement of
the parts. Install the new cap.

reinstalling carburetors. Repair kits are available

If symptoms described in the carburetor
troubleshooting guide indicate float level problems,
remove the carburetor from the engine to check and/
or replace the float. Use a float kit to replace float, pin
and inlet needle or valve.
1. Remove the air cleaner and air intake
components from the carburetor as described in
Section 4.
2. Disconnect the fuel inlet line from the carburetor.
3. Disconnect governor/throttle linkage from the
carburetor.
4. Disconnect lead wires from fuel solenoid-
equipped carburetor.
5. Slide the carburetor off the retaining studs.
Remove the fuel bowl retaining screw or fuel
shut-off solenoid and drain the fuel into a safe
container. Remove the bowl from the carburetor
body.
6. Turn the carburetor body upside down and check
the float level as shown in Figure 5-32. With the
float needle valve fully seated, 16.5 mm (0.65 in.)
should be measured from the body to the float
as indicated. Don't attempt to adjust by bending
the tab; replace the float with a kit if the level is
wrong.
