If it won't come off, I strongly suggest his puller. I bought one of the first ones he made. Works great. His link is up top: Parts By Jeff.
I'd get a new throttle shaft. Or just go with the China carb. That shaft isn't worth fixing. You should be able to find a new shaft. If not, buy a used carb that is in better shape. Take two and make one good one.

If it does have some kind of electric choke, I want to see pics of it.....
The other "thing" on the left of the coil is the condenser. Yes, it must stay. It's required.

Thanks as always Jonathan,
I emailed Jeff, waiting on a reply.
I found a guy on facebook who gave me an AWESOME deal on a whole setup, original carb, oil bath, fuel sediment collector, and the mounts. If he can find the original choke cable he is going to include that too.
The electric system on this thing is confusing me. I'm not really sure if the switch near the "choke" sign on the column is really a choke or not... Ill take pics tomorrow night and hopefully you guys can help me figure it out. I'm debating taking the electric apart and rewiring it the right way (once I understand the right way)...
I printed off the 4 different manuals I found online today (users manual, engine, chassis, and rear fenders)
Took the seat and mount off just now. soaked the basket bolts for tomorrow.
J-mech,,, I know you said if the cylinder doesnt need bored, the engine doesnt need rebuilt... would I be wrong, while I have it torn down, to redo all the seals and reinstall the existing piston/rod?
Also, A local auction has a QA-42 snow thrower.... i dont have a PTO, but if anyone sees this is the next 2.5 weeks, and wants it, let me know, ill give you the info to bid, and if you win, ill pick it up for you and store it until you can make it out here or arrange freight. (same auction where I picked this tractor up for 50 bucks)
Thanks all!
