        If the ThrottlePlateShaft hole is worn & enlarged you can get an air

leak there.

        Back in the '60s while in the USAF I was finishing an engine rebuild

at the AutoShop & it was a Sat afternoon so they were going to be closed

for the next 2 days & I was anxious to have my wheels back under me so

I got in a hurry ~ picked up the Carb' & without looking at the bottom I

dropped it into place & bolted it down, connected the hoses & linkage &

right @ closing time I fired it up & dang near blew everybodies eardrums

~ an old piece of gasket material had gotten stuck to the mating surface

on the bottom of the Carb & produced an air leak ~ it actually sounded

kind of cool ~ sort of resembled a T38 or F5 spooling up but I fixed
it just

the same.
