Now while I'm at it, I have yet another question. Unless the engine is warm I usually need a small spray of starter fluid to get it going but then always runs fine once started no matter where I set the idle. Is this also to do with my carb setting?? Thanks again.

As for the carb throttle shaft, here is the my link on what you need:

You shouldn't have to use starting fluid. You may need to check the timing and maybe a new set of points and a condenser.
