"Right said Fred"...here I go with another little missive...please do not adjust your screens or channels...normal transmission will return shortly.
I took Gadge's Acetone idea and the carby base minus the bowl now looks like brand new, the paint is sitting forlornly at the bottom of the large glass Pickle jar and the alloy carby body is fully nude and shining.
A small droplet of WD-40 on the butterfly shaft and with a slight grip via a pair of pointy nose pliers with which I gripped the shaft beneath the Governer Plate...it freed up and has nary a sign of any free play whatsoever. So..from this assessment it looks like I'll be able to rebuild this carby and keep the restoration authentic.
Question uno numero...how does one remove the brass Needle and Seat body?...it doesn't seem to have a flat tip scew driver slots in it which is pretty much the go for most carburator things these days.
Question Zwei... which kit do I procure via unknown means which will have the correct replacement parts I need? The Brass Float isn't damaged nor leaking that I can see and I will try to re-use it.
Are there any other tricks to removing any other internal parts that need to be replaced or cleaned as well.?
Cheers again
Gazza
