Thanks Paul,

I must then announce that it is wrongly depicted in the Chilton's manual
p.110, probably a misprint, where they put the smaller part towards the
head...

Charles,

The large side goes towards the head. If you look at the top cap, it can
only go on one way. So if you then look at the position of the top cap
you
will see where your cable enters and see that it goes straight down into
the
slide with the spring securing it into it's slot.

Subject: Carb Assembly Question ???



Hello All,

I was working on my carbs and when putting them back together, did not
know
what way to put the trottle sliders... Actually I have an idea based on
looking at a carb apart in the Chilton's Manual, but the thing is that
the
guy that owned my Ambo before most probably put the sliders
the wrong way... So just to be sure I asked question #1

Question 1)
If I look straight at the hole that feeds the gas to the engine (not the
air
hole), what part of the slider should I see ??? The small square part
where
numbers are stamped on or the larger rectangle ???

Question 2)
Also on one carb when I put the trottle slider where the stamped numbers
can
be seen through the gas feeding hole, the slider when pushed down, gets
stuck... Is it OK to file the side of the trottle slider with sand
paper
until it won't get stuck anymore ???

Thanks for the answers will let you know when I'll get it to crank...

Cheers

Charles H
