[jpb04619]

yesterday while i was breaking up snowbanks to help winter go away the throttle shaft on my 57 310 crawler broke at the throttle butterfly mounting screws needless to say the linkage then fell off.......i managed to hold it together with a piece of wire [no throttle ,rpm about 500] to move it back to its parking spot..this is the marvel schelber updraft carg on the 4 cylinder continental flat head engine.....where can i get a throttle shaft , or do i have to get another carb thanks john b

Carb. rebuild kits come with the throttle shaft or you can get one at the dealer.

John I have purchased 3 of these carb kits over the last few years and have trouble with the throttle shafts in all 3 even though they came from different sources and with different names on the package. I suspect they are all made by the same place. The arm on the end seems to be either made wrong or "out of time" with the butterfly flat. Jerry
