That is for a choke. Really don't need that.

OK: i let go of the return springs and started to see where it was catching. Found acouple of problems. First was the base that goes between the carbs. One end was bent where it was causing restriction in the arm. Straightened it out and it had a noticable improvment. Next was that P shaped arm. I reversed it and i was off to the races. Full return on the gas pedal. No sticking. But, now, dont know what i did to change it but now the carbs are leaking at both bowls where the gas lines are connected too. I pulled them apart and actually had a spare seal and replaced it. Still leaking. Can i use tephlon tape to wrap around the fittings or will the gas eat it up.
