Rochester Carb Issue
I have a Rochester 1BBL on my 64 inline six and the when I pull the choke lever the the shaft moves but the choke butterfly doesn't it just freely hangs. I rebuilt the carb several weeks ago and it was doing great but today I was having starting issues and believe this is the problem. I've search the interwebs high and low and can't find the shaft assembly, is my carb done and I need a new one or is this replaceable?

Re: Rochester Carb Issue
Sounds as if you lost the plate screws at one time, see this link

Re: Rochester Carb Issue
Then the cable must be sliding thru the lever link or the lever itself is ( I believe is been stamped on the shaft ) and is loosened up and rotating on the shaft, If thats the case you`ll have to remove the plates pull the shaft out and restamp it if possible, or what I have done in the past is if the shaft and lever not to rounded off is to drill out the center of the shaft and tap it and use a machine screw to lock the lever down with a washer and lock ring. the shaft being brass will drill and tap very easily....

Re: Rochester Carb Issue
IIRC, the lever that the inner cable attaches to is not part of the shaft. There is a coil spring wound around the shaft that connects the two parts together. So if the spring is missing, broken, or unhooked, pulling the cable won't rotate the shaft.
