I need to flip the throttle arm (from pointing down to pointing up) on my OS 46 FX to install it in the plane. The nut is very tight, and I'm nervous about breaking something. Is there a trick to this? Are the threads reversed or anything?

The reason I'm nervous is because I have an Irvine 40 that had the throttle arm retaining nut come loose, and the small threaded extension snapped off of the carburetor barrel while I was tightening it back on. Now that whole engine is junk because I can't get the replacement barrel.

I have rotated mime before, the nut is tight, once its loose you will need to insert a small piece (soft)into the carburator to stop the throttle barrel from rotating, just tighten it in the desire position.

That worked. It was very tight. I really cranked on it (for a small nut, that is) when retightening it to keep it from vibrating loose.

Thanks!
