I have an ol d VS White where I suspect some heavy handed person put a puller on the rim of the balance wheel to try to get it off. Of coure, it broke. Glad you are so patient.
Thanks! Patience is definitely learned - a while back I blew the needle bar clamp cam off an 1899 Singer 27 by using it and the needle bar to stop the horizontal arm shaft while I twisted off the sticky handwheel. That one hurt, inside. I hadn't yet heard of penetrating oil. Thankfully 27 parts are easy to come by!
None of these things are barrel carbs tho...whew! I wouldn't even know where to start with a car.
