Default RE: SMALL DISPLACEMENT FOUR STROKE GLOW TO GAS CONVERSION

Hi Guys

I've now got a pair of Zama C1Q P8 8YA carbs and I'd appreciate advice on the items below.

Pic 1 shows the huge plastic needle limiters, which I hope I can do without because they'll get in the way. Is there an easy way to remove them?

Pic 2 shows a tube which I think I saw earlier in the thread is used for priming. Presumably this needs blocking?

Pic 3 shows the throttle butterfly. The spring is far too strong for working with a servo, so is it OK to remove the spring? I remember reading years ago that the spring also stopped the butterfly from chattering, so maybe it needs replacing with a compression spring between the lever and the carb body.

In this pic, have I correctly labelled the pulse pressure hole?

Pic 4 shows the choke and throttle stop screw. I'm thinking of removing the choke, and replacing the the screw with a sharpened grub screw. Any problems?

Thanks

Gordon
