The shaft is two pieces with a hex slip-joint. One piece stays with the pump. The outer piece is slid in (through an O-ring seal) after the pan is on. It's retained by a bolt through an arm on the outer end (into a tapped hole in the aluminum O-ring block). So adjustments are only in full-turn increments, which is a three PSI change (range is about 60 - 90 PSI). A mini-starter makes it very easy to get at the adjustment.
If you've got LOTS of time someday, I'll try to explain how the center carb's power valve is also now externally adjustable on that engine- with the air cleaners in-place! Not to mention the remote idle-mixture knobs of the center carb...
