1. I use a sheet of flat plastic ... the kind that those plastic "blister" packages that are almost indestructible are made of.

2. Punch a hole with one of those hand paper punches that punches one hole and save the "hole".

3. Put the "hole" inside throttle shaft bushing area.("Hole" keeps shaft from getting stuck to JB Weld)

4. Then as mentioned above use J B Weld to fill hole even with the casting.

5. Powder coating or painting does not affect J B Weld.
