DLE-35 Choke Butterfly
 

New to gas and Walbro carbs. I disassembled the shaft and choke, so I could attach the ball link to choke arm. The guide from the case, to the arm, not a straight shot. Attached the ball, put back together, now I have a flapper, it is not sticking open or closed.
Did I lose some type of bearing on the shaft? If I did, I am sure it did not make its way into the carb. Your expertise appreciated. Looks like the pictures will not upload at this time.

Thanks Skip. An engine guy sent me the picture. Just the little ball and spring, create friction on the shaft. This is all new to me.

Not able to secure a spring over the weekend, I decided to check my parts drawers. Came up with a couple, had to modify. I did find the ball on the shop floor, which is almost impossible on wood floor with some cuts in it. This morning, I went about inserting my modified spring in the hole. No luck. I decided to look down that hole one more time. Picked the engine up, carb facing me, looking in there, a spring is there. Where did that come from? Looks like in my inserting a spring that would not work, somehow loosened up the stock spring, there it was, standing at attention.:D Put the ball in, slid the shaft thru, secured the butterfly, Life is Good:D
Thanks for the help.
