Q: idle mixture lock
I just bought a 'take off carburetor' from marine parts express and the carb has some weird lock installed around the idle mixture screw, so you cant adjust it.
At least I cant.
What in the world is that all about?
I have never seem such a thing.
At first I thought is was just a button so you could turn it by hand, but is is locked in place.
I can see the mixture needle through the base and it wont move .
Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for the reply.
I am glad I am not alone, thinking it was the gubment effin with me.
With my luck, I will break it trying to force it off.
Does anyone know how to disassemble this?

If you still haven't installed the carb and those are original locks, get a pair of pliers and crush them, they will fall right off. If you are rebuilding the carb???? needles are provided in the good rebuild kits.
