Ok guys thanks I will use your method, seems way better than trying to grip the 4mm part of the cable !
Someone has definitely rebushed the secondary shaft, my guess is they haven't reamed through, but have reamed from each side and the holes are misaligned.
Really odd too that the secondary has been rebushed - which doesn't usually see as much wear - and the primary has been left in a very worn state.
Yes... What is weird is that trying to find a solution on youtube, as I'm completely novice in mechanic, There were dozen of video showing this process, and actually how they use a special tool to get them perfectly aligned ...
When I see the spare carb I have... with the warped primary butterfly, I struggle to imagine how these cars where used !
Also Everything was over tighten in the carb.
Now I put it back on my X I will try it out but to resume the situation :
Sticky primary and secondary, with secondary completely stuck if you open it fully.
1- Untight a bit primary shaft (now primary shaft move freely)
2- Secondary butterfly was misaligned and ripping against the barrel wall.
3- Secondary shaft was a bit bent. I changed with the spare I have.
4- Original secondary butterfly with spare shaft, well positionned : No more stickiness or stuck.
5- One of the plastic bushing was cracked. I replaced it, but I see no improvement.
6- Still a bit sticky by itself but when everything assembled the spring is strong enough so it works well.
7- Remaining little stickiness is due to the bushings of the secondary barrel that have been redone, but seem mis-aligned.
Going to take it for a drive and give you feedbacks !
