Remove the valve, take the carb off the intake and remove the butterfly and shaft, then drill and tap the hole in the intake left by the shaft and plug it. Drillsize is 11/32 and plug is 10X1.50 mm iirc. Removing the valve and butterfly yields better flow to the rear rotor. I use a dab of J-B Weld on the plug threads to insure sealing and that the plug/bolt will not move.

That looks like the picture from Carl's tutorial on about page 16.
Trochoid's advice is probably the "proper" way to go but if you're just trying to follow the tutorial then go to page 24. Just above the picture of the blue air cleaner is one line of text that says: "Here's another wonderful bolt/hose combination. Cap both ports on the shutter valve".

Well, the problem is that the rear throat is slightly larger to make up for the space that the shutter valve takes up. Removing the valve will result in an imbalance between the front/rear rotors. A lot of people do it though and haven't reported any problems. This information I received from a very reliable source, so I don't really doubt it.
However, what I did as kind of a compromise, was to remove the plate on the shaft but leave the shaft itself in there. That way the flow would still be the same on both the front and rear. Is this a better way to do it? I have no idea. Either way will most likely give you good results so take your pick.
