Shuboxlover 478 #1 Posted April 5, 2012 I got it running, runs o.k. but makes a big puff of smoke when I rev it up. The throttle shaft is wore (are those hard to fix?). It does move, I haven't actually driven it, but it moved a couple feet back and forth with no problem. I think I may rebuild it this fall/winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim_M 178 #5 Posted April 6, 2012 Normally the throttle shaft is loose because the carb body is worn. You can install bushings in the carb body and a new throttle shaft it's not difficult but you need patience and the right tools. A drill press makes the job go a lot easier.
