So far the automatic examples have a round hole at the bottom and the manuals don't. Maybe its the angle of the pictures but we have a number of pictures posted so far from multiple angles
IF so why did the maker make the difference and provide a hole/loop for an attachment?
Keep in mind that the throttles shafts can be interchanged when rebuilding. So long as they are from the same type 4100, the 1.08 or 1.12 . I can easily see where someone would swap out the throttle shaft for one that has better plating/condition.
Just discussion possibilities and observations ;)

That's why I posted to new carbs not rebuilt or factory re-manufactured ;)

Sorry, missed that... :o

Had an opportunity to actually go out and look last night because I wasn't sure and was curious, especially about that lower hole being discussed.
We also have the same setup as Jim's #18 posting. We have that lower hole (the item I couldn't remember for certain). I think I've rebuilt this original carb at least 4 times over the years and I know I've never changed the configuration regards to bracket, spring and where it attaches.
