Another Carburetor Question

[johnr9q@yahoo.com]

I have a late 1931. Where the fuel goes in, I have a filter that puts fuel in at a right angle to the carb and has a valve on the bottom of it. I am trying to remove the throttle shaft. I removed the two screws in the throttle plate but can't pull the shaft out. It looks like there is a pin that is holding the end of the throttle shaft, if it is holding the shaft in, is that removable?

If you removed the throttle plate, the shaft should pull right out. Nothing else holding it in place.

Someone may have installed a pin. Try pulling it out with a set of Vicegrip type pliers.

Thanks nkaminar. The head of the "Pin" is recessed su no way to pull it out. I'd send a pic but I can't till I get my new computer.

I hit the shaft hard with a drift pin and it doesn't come out. At first I pried with a screwdriver and it came out about 1/16 of an inch. Maybe I need to drill the pin out?
