Scott, I don’t remember the brass sleeve and spring being stuck, but you could
remove the choke butterfly and lever, and tap the brass sleeve and spring
out from the choke end, with the appropriate tool.
My brass sleeve moves freely inside the bore.
The “thin” steel washer goes along the right, (towards the front of the motor) of
the throttle spool assembly. (the part that the control rod from the mag hooks to)
Sorry for the fuzzy photos.
Prepare to be boarded!
