Previous to installing the JLO, the motor was bench tested a couple of times. The last time we ran it we noticed that the throttle shaft was broken off were the keeper clip holds it into the carb.We were always operating from the idle adjustment side. I tried a couple of sources to find a replacement but came up empty. Snocatpete suggested to use a shaft from a different model Tillotson and customize it to make it work, so thats what I did. Luckily I found a local small engine shop in town which had a HL292 of off a old cement saw. I bought the entire carb. for $10.00.
This worked very good and was pretty easy to do. Thanks Pete for the suggestion. I have ran the JLO since and it works great.
