Was tunning on Bill's 1405 today trying to clear up a random miss/droppee cylinders condition. Everything looked fine until I started doing the carb spray check for vacuum leaks. Left side primary throttle shaft bore is worn out. You can literally move the shaft around 1/8" and cause the issue at will. Is there a repair kit for this or will we just sell it as is for parts?

Thanks! :D

It's probably a better financial decision to get another one from a swap meet that is in good shape.
Not a lot of rebush info out there. Some Ebay stuff, but who knows there. Edelbrock and Carter throttle shafts do run a tad loose, but that sounds excessive! :lol:

I've been fortunate with the old Carter Fopar gifted me some years back. It's in awesome shape! :D

Thanks Ceej, but a better decision has already been made. He's ordering a Holley tomorrow. :lol:

I'll have him dump this one on E-bag for parts. :D
