Six Pack issues and rebuilding by tommyg29

Here are a few questions and pictures.

First, were the clutch head type screws used in 71?

See them on some accelerator pump covers and a few other places.

1st picture shows the accelerator pump covers. My old one on the left and I am sure it had the wrong spring. Probably a float spring. I am going with the one on the right.

2nd picture shows a bent choke cam stud. Actually, the stud was replaced by a bolt, and I have just straightened it out. I am keeping my choke disconnected anyway, locking the flap in wide open position.

3rd picture is my "new" inboard, showing the vent baffle which I didnt have before.

4th picture shows my old accelerator arm (broken off) and I didnt even know. I am transferring over the linkage and connector only to the new inboard. Was does the accelerator arm even do?

Hopefully I can make one good, well performing set when I am done, and will probably put all the remaining parts on ebay. I am sure many of the parts can still be used.

And David, I can send you back your float bowl if you like. 

It just got to the point I didnt feel safe with the old set.

Im guessing that stronger accelerator pump spring and the broken accelerator arm didnt help me any with my old setup.  

Now Im on to the cam, Im going to go with the one on the right, after I clean it up a bit.

Hard to tell what color it is but I think its a decent fit for a very mild build like mine.

What do the more aggressive cams do anyways?

and... lube or grease any parts in particular, shaft journals, springs, hinges?
