Would anyone know what the min and maximum tolerance or clearance of the throttle shaft and the body should be. Thank you | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,767 Carburetion specialist | | Carburetion specialist Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 2,767 | Original was 0.004~0.006.
An additional 0.003 is acceptable.
If the clearance doesn't exceed 0.009, you will be OK.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

I needed to know that because I have just purchase a rebuilt carb from a "carb rebulder" and when I got it home and looking at it I noticed it seemed to have more play in the throttle shaft than the carb I was replacing. So I mounted it in my mill and measured the shaft movement with a dial indicator, the rebuilt had .012 and my original had .007. Now I have something to go to bat with. Kevin | | |
