The choke linkage retaining screw is a pan head Phillips wood/sheet metal screw.

The spacer/bushings on the end of the choke linkage arms are important and something needs to be there to hold the lever away from the jet tube.

FYI, the jet tubes are handed and it is important to install the correct jet tube for each carburetor.

If you are using original SU jet tubes, they have a colored band on the hose to help distinguish which jet tube goes where. A yellow band for the front jet tube and a red band for the rear.

I have seen more than set of carbs with damaged choke linkages because the wrong jet tubes were installed and someone forced the choke linkage to fit.
