I installed the universal joint this morning. To ensure good interference fit with the carrier bearing, I used a center punch to raise the metal (~12 rows of 5 divots each around the circumference); then I applied a light coating of green bearing retaining compound to the surface. Finally, I pressed the universal joint into place within the swing arm.

I put all of the carburetor parts in my gallon can of carb cleaner to soak for 24 hours.
