I had the throttle shaft seize on my Curvy a few years back.

I did manage to get the butterfly screws out with "normal" screwdrivers, with no damage. Sorry don't remember what I used. When refitted I used loctite as I couldn't re-peen the ends.

One of the throttle shaft seals was visibly damaged, but I could not find a replacement anywhere (part number is not listed), so I took a risk and rebuilt with the damaged seal (it wasn't that bad).

3 years later no issues whatsoever. If it ever does cause a problem I will buy a rubbish set of carbs and recover a hopefully good seal from them.
