Second rebuild.  No warranty due to contamination according to the rebuilder
82
Little update.  So found out not only is the secondary cam non-existent, I've got a plugged POE.  When I sent this carb in the first time, I was told it had rust in the bottom of the bowl.  I took a mason jar and cranked it over a little and sure enough, rust (pictured).  That prompted me to replace EVERYTHING.  Tank, sender, all lines including return and vent, and pump.  Still had the sticking problem so I sent it back.  He sent me pics saying the carb still has junk inside as shown in pic of cut open fuel filter.  I don't know how that could have happened since again, ALL OF THE FUEL RELATED ITEMS WERE NEW AND EVEN FLUSHED PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE CARB THE FIRST TIME.  Anyways here I am rebuilding this carb for the 3rd time  :-[

Using the punch in the down channel to back up and swage the rivet is a great idea.

I would be very careful with any kind of press-in solution on those lower idle air bleeds.  If a press-in bushing comes out, there could be bad consequences.  Make sure you have a good tight press fit with the rivets, as anything that is not very secure in the venturi / throttle bore makes me nervous.

 Yeah, I thought of that, I used a punch tip inside the down channel from the bottom because it goes right behind the bleed hole and then drove the rivets in against it to ensure that they are swedged into place. The last thing I need is for one of these to go bouncing around inside a cylinder.
 But like I told 77cruiser, I'd rather use the set screws as they can be changed easily if need be. This was just a trial alternative in case I had no other option.

Good. When you thread from the top it's easy to get too deep.

I think it shows how in Cliffs book if you have it.

 Yeah, I just found the picture in his book. I was just wanting to see how it looked from the top side.
 I'll try it on an old core I've got.
