Post the VIN off the steering stem, to figure out the year.

What makes the carb "no good"?

Pull the chock lever up then try to pull it out of the carb. It worked for me.

If the carb is junk use a dremel and cut the carb until the cable comes out. I had to cut a carb up to get a slide someone hammered in the wrong way.

there was actually a locknut under the spring. i tried getting it out with an awl, did not work. ended up putting carb on one side of a fence and the choke cable on the other and pulling damnhard. came out just fine and saved my cable. thanks for advice everyone.
