Just get a small, sharp, pointed object and dig the old packing out bit by bit. There is no possibility that it will come out in one piece. A very small screwdriver is what I use. I personally inspect every kit I sell and trial fit all of the parts to a carb I keep on the bench just for that purpose.
I have rebuilt several carburetors that already had the nylon lever on the throttle shaft, and those carburetors were in steady use on working tractors for many, many years. There is not a problem with them.
Thanks for the tips Rusty. Ill give that a shot tonight. Im hoping to find the main jet behind the packing so I can pull it out and then put everything back in to soak for another night.
I think its great that you test all of your kits for fit and finish.... That may have just swayed my decision on where to get one. I am always leery of getting aftermarket parts after hearing horror stories. I know a lot of previous posts here on the boards said to always get an IH kit to avoid problems, but I know you have re-built enough carbs for folks here that you know what works and what doesnt.
Ill probably shoot you an e-mail sometime this weekend about combining shipping on a few things.
