I used a Dremel (high speed drill) with a grinding wheel to file down the 
casting post which was in the way of the carb linkage.  After sanding this 
down far enough, I covered the exposed surface with a thin coat of JB Weld.
That was five or six years ago, and I've had no problems with the carb or 
the alternator. However, I discovered that I am no a big fan of the 34 
series Bocar carburator.  Granted it works, but it's no Solex.
