Carb Rebuild Problem

PB Blaster is a better penetrate than WD-40. Or soak it in ATF. After soaking some, try and work the shafts back and forth. If that doesn't work. Remove the butterflies and knock the shafts out.

Make sure that you mark the butterflies before removing them. Also, you have to file/grind the peening over of the butterflies screws to make the removal. Make sure you peen them over after reinstalling [ask me how I know !!!].

Thanks for information. I will try PB Blaster and/or ATF. I had the butterfly screws out yesterday but was afraid to use force to knock out butterflies or shafts.

I did not peen the screws prior to reinstalling yesterday. Please tell me why this is neccessary? However, two of the screws were very difficult to reinstall.

Have you ever seen a carburator actually work properly after removing/cleaning/reinstalling shafts and butterflies? Please tell me "Yes"...
