The cold start valve (and this is from the book) consists of a starter
valve body, a valve spindle which rotates through a limited arc wihin
it, and an o-ring and v-seal to seal the valve body in its housng, and
to seal the valve spindle in the valve body, respectively. A metal seal
cover is fitted to prevent damage to the v-seal. The assembly is fitted
into a bored-out housing in the side of the carburettor, and is operated
by a lever and a return spring. - There's more, but you get the idea.
Does this sound like the shaft?
As for your leftover parts, looking at the diagrams in the book, I'm
guessing they might be the crankcase ventilation connections, or maybe
the vent tubes. It appears there should be one on each carb. Those are
the only things I see that look like that. I'm assuming, of course, you
have the manual choke. If you have the electronic type, they might be
the vacuum tubes (two on each carb). On the other hand, again, they
could be parts of the linkage, which I don't have pictures of.
