This is a throttle valve guide, oversized by .002 in. over standard, listed as USA made. It carries the alternate part number 71-0229-2 in some parts books, so if you've got that number written down, you're looking at the same piece.

A guide like this fits into the carburetor body and controls the up-and-down travel of the slide or throttle valve, keeping it running true instead of wearing sloppy in the bore. The .002 oversize designation means it's meant for a bore that's been reamed or worn slightly past standard spec, so it's worth checking your carb body's actual bore condition before ordering.
Our catalog record on this one is brief and doesn't tie it to a specific model or carb type. If you're not sure this is the guide your carburetor needs, give the shop a call and we'll help confirm before you order.
