Re: carburetor

What king of carb is that? Pre-QJet 4MV or 4GV or whatever they were? Curious!

Re: carburetor

Yes you can remove that stud. You'll need a cutting disc on a grinder though. Hacksaw won't touch it. It's hardened metal.

Re: carburetor

Do I want to grind off the rear rivet like piece or do I want to cut as close a possible to the arm?

Re: carburetor

THe one I did IIRC I cut it off on the front side close to the arm. Then punched the rest
out. Easier to grind/cut that way.
