Sticky throtttle shaft
 

Need some ideas. After sitting for a few months the carb throttle shaft on the '40 was stuck. I believe it was one that Charlie rebuilt, so we know it's good. Any ideas on how to keep loosened up. Thank you Fordbarners.

Carb cleaner?

Fair chance it is the throttle plate stuck in the bore, rather than the shaft itself. Shoot some WD40 down the bores and on both external shaft ends. If the carb is a 97, shoot a little of that WD40 into the accelerator pump on top of the carb.

Ingot it loose, and it does not like the throttle plates as it was sticky all the way to wide open. Any recommended preventative measures ? Thank you Fordbarners.

If you can live without the carb for a week send it back, please include return
postage, I'll figure it out N/C.
