CA Carburetor TSX-352

Edit:  Hi, my 1952 CA seems to have a TSX-352 (Marvel-Schebler) carburetor.  It isn't listed as stock for a CA (CA13092) in my repair manuals.  I did find this referenced in some of the available carburetor repair kits (some say they are universal to the TSX series).  Is the TSX-352 an acceptable carburetor or should I get another listed model?  This one appears to have a tack welded throttle lever.  I'm not sure if it was just wedged on or if it was a break repair.  The weld mechanism leaves a little slop in the lever control so that it won't quite reach full throttle, but not by a lot.

The bolt pattern spacing, on the discharge to the intake manifold was the determining factor..  After you get one the BOLTS ON, then they change in throat insert to a specific diameter for air flow for  a specific displacement motor... After that they have  several different JETS that can be installed to fine tune the gas flow / air flow mixture for a given size motor. If you get a CARB that was setup for a 120- 130 cubic inch motor, it should work fine on a CA no matter what the "number " is.... Each vendor ( Allis , Hyster, ect ) will tell the manufacturer which side of the carb they want the throttle lever on, if it points up or down, and what side the choke lever is on... The MANUFACTURER then assigns a NUMBER (352) to that version of the carb.  It is easy enough to pull the throttle lever off and reinstall in a different position and solder into place. ( if needed).. As long as the 352 BOLTS to the manifold, and seems to have enough air flow/ gas flow for your CA, it should be fine... The above reference site can give you a rebuild kit if you need it.
