2. Remove throttle return spring and damper spring.

   Fig 1: Model 32-35 Cover Assembly Screws Note location and size of screws for reassembly.

   
5. Remove only main body by lifting cover assembly. Cover cannot be removed because choke unloader rod is connected to throttle shaft. Remove "E" clip where choke unloader rod connects to throttle shaft.
6. Do not remove devices connected to float chamber unless necessary, especially automatic choke system. Remove float pin and float. Remove needle valve by removing screw and retainer that hold needle valve in place.
