Re-assembling Carbs

I have a quick question before I start putting my carbs back together. I know from reading the Church of Clean that I should put thread locking compound on the upper and lower rack bolts and the butterfly screws. It says to use anti-seize on all other bolts, screws, etc. Should I put anything on the jets, valve seat threads, choke plunger mount threads, pilot screw threads, fuel bowl drain screw? The term "all other" would make me think to put it everywhere, but I just want to make sure I don't put any anti-seize where it shouldn't be...don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks,
Stacy

 

Anything not mentioned in the article should be left dry.

 

I would definitely use anti-seize on the bowl drains crew threads! And the pilot mixture screws, too.

Anti-seize won't hurt anything, just make SURE you don't get any excess where it can get drawn into a fuel passage. Less is more!!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Another question...when re-assembling my #2 carb, the throttle shaft seems to have a little play in it side-to-side. I have not attached the butterfly yet. It looks as if I should use another shim washer on one end or the other. Starting from the sync adjusting screw side, I've got a new shim washer, then the seal and on the nut end I've got the seal, new shim washer, sync bracket, lock washer, and nut. I can see that the sync bracket is bottomed out against the ridge in the shaft so pressing that tighter or tightening the nut tighter won't take up the slack. Should I add one of the old shim washers to take up the slack? How do I know which end it should go on cause the butterfly screws should be exactly centered in the carb body? Also, with the new seals, the throttle spring seems to be weak. Do they ever need to be replaced or maybe wind it around once?
