Then I'm glad I shot that pic as close as I did. And that YOU paid better attention. I thought they were done the same... So GOOD on YOU.
I took pix before taking it apart because I'd been cautioned by others Here on This Priceless Forum! I mentioned that the way the throttle and choke are linked together on the carb itself, the carb can't just be slid sideways from between air filter housing and the manifold. One shutter is always extended past the gasket surface. A member suggested using a screwdriver to pry the filter housing forward using the filter fastener bracket. I modified the plan by turning the wingnut over to provide a straighter purchase and it came out like this
I removed one of the TORX screws that holds the housing in place to keep strain off the housing. It's a T-30, size courtesy of another Member HERE.
Next time I might dab a little paint on each link and the hole it goes into. Yes, I succeeded the first time. But I'm older now...
