There is a part on the side of the carburetor that an arm that controls the butterlfy attaches to, and it swivels left/right and rests against the end of a screw attached to the throttle arm that controls the flow of fuel into the carb. It is circular and has a tail that curves up/down. How does this go onto the carb? I mean I know where it goes, but I dont know how it is supposed to be positioned. When I pulled it apart I didn't pay attention to how it was positioned. Thank you for any and all input.

unlike a dog or cat the tail goes to the front, this is the choke unloader, when you hold the throttle wide open it will push the choke flap open part way. this is to clear a flood situation:)

Alright, thanks man I appreciate the help. So therefore the Round end rests against the screw, and the tail will be pushed by the throttle when it is opened correct?

Re: Carburetor Reasselmbly

forgot to add, the tail curves up,you must assemble the linkage before you install the screw
