I was rebuilding the carb for my D17 & found the choke shaft was bad. Didn't want to steel it from another carb. Which would make that one unusable. Checked high & low for another. Nothing. So, I made one! Don't tell a machinist that something is no longer available! It is just a challenge.

| Sure looks good. You could probably sell a few of those. |

You are right! I give my local machinist a ton of business and everything comes back looking as good as new. They are well worth the price they charge. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

How did you machine the slot? |

Thanks guys! It was a little intimidating at first. But after I made a blue print of it. It didn't seem near as bad. I will take a picture of my setup for the next one. Brian, I used a slitting saw for the slot. Basically a small saw blade for metal. I had to make the arbor to hold it also. I will post a pic of that too. Ray W. |

| Ahh.. a rotary blade. I assumed you used an end mill, but it is kind of small for that. |

Looks great! I only wish I had the knowledge and the resources to do things like that!

I often think that if I were starting life over, I think I would love to study machining. The closest I ever came was working at Talbert Trailers, running a big drill, and power hack saw that I cut big beams with. And a twenty foot wide shear and brake to bend metal and make channels and angles! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

Several D17 carb kits on ebay with the shaft included in them. |

Gary, I saw a lot of kits with the throttle shaft included. But didn't see any with the choke shaft also. Do you have any links to them? Ray W. I did find some for the smaller Marvel carbs. The ones I need are for the larger TSX-464 & TSX-773. ( 3.750" over all length ) |

Ray has done many projects for me thru the years. His workmanship is incredible. Last spring I bought a 7000. The alternator double groove pulley was worn bad on one of the grooves. I could not find a new one. Ray said just send me yours. When the new one came, I couldn't get over how nice it was. Making something like that takes talent. Thanks Ray, to my good friend in MI.

I guess it was for the smaller ones and I'm sure that the ones you make are a whole lot nicer and better fit than the Chinese stuff anyway. |

Dusty, I have machines & sources available to do just about anything. Just a matter if cost out weighs the need. Give me a call or pm. (616)4three7-2527 Ray W. I'm not sure it is all that better than the production parts Gary. But necessity is a very good motivator. LOL |
