I need a carter BBS carburetor for a 225. I have had no luck trying to find one in my area in any of the junkyards. Does anybody have an old one they would like to get rid off. I want one that has NOT been remanufactured. Does a BBS have the same throttle shaft wear problems that the BBD has? IF I can't find one I will settle for a Holley 1920.

Need a lot more info. What year and application do you need a BBS for?

Thanks Dan, but I found one soon after I posted. I needed it to go on my Duster. Did the BBS have the same throttle shaft wear problems that the BBD had?

Yep, they did. But, they can be rebushed.

How do you rebush them, can you do it at home, and is it expensive.

Naw, it's definitely not a do-at-home deal. You can find contractors who rebush throttle shafts in Hemmings. The Old Carb Doctor (800-945-CARB) does it. I have in the past used the services of G&S Machine, 303-795-1412. Don't know if they still offer it, but they used to offer 2-day turnaround and did a REALLY good job. Used postal or UPS shipping. Cost was between $30 and $50 -- and WELL worth it. Call around to local machine shops and see if you can find one who'll do it.
