Rebuilding carbs - mixed butterfly shafts
Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 2:35 pm
It appears that I have two carbs that came from different trucks =) but I expect things like that this late in the game.
One has a brass shaft, one has a shiny steel shaft, both have some vertical play so i expect both need a rebuild. Too be absolutely clear, any vertical movement of the butterfly shaft, even less than a mm, is evident of wear and should be remedied correct?
From my understanding, the brass one can be repaired by inserting a steel shaft and machining to accept an o-ring. The metal one needs even further attention.
So my question is, what, if anything, can i do locally or is it better to send the basis to Jim?
