      I have a KE-4 with a Tillotson AJ23A carb and I took it apart a year ago and lost my pictures. I have a couple questions.

      1. Which way does the throttle butterfly plate go? Open part up, down, which side, does it matter?

      2. Is it supposed to go in the slot of the throttle shaft?

      3. Do I have the top linkage right?

      4. How does the spring go on?

      Thank You

        Here’s a couple of pics, Top one of a Mark 5 carb. Not sure what Merc
        the other is from, or if they are
        similar enough to yours, or show what you need to know.
