400F Throttle plate on carbs.....
« on: September 05, 2022, 06:19:30 PM »
There is a shaft on the plate that holds the carb bodies together. This shaft has the throttle quadrants on it.
I would like to remove this shaft from the plate to re-plate the quadrants. Is it held in place with a brass pin?  - ie does this require drilling out?

Once I drilled mine out I replaced it with a roll pin, worked a treat.
