I have successfully rebushed my own ( and other peoples carbs ) using a kit that was available from Schley Products..... it is not all that difficult.... the kit was listed as part number 84120, this kit is not totally complete.... the one part it does not include, but is necessary is an 8mm reamer ( the size of the throttle shaft....) the kit includes..... 1 - 10mm drill ( the outside diameter of the new bushes ( with a slight interference fit....) 2 - a stop collar for the drill bit ( so that the hole is not drilled deaper than the width of the new bushing...) 3 - a bushing instalation drift ( to help with installing the bushing, it is steped to minimize distortion of the bushing as it is pressed into place...) 4 - a small assortment of 3mm, and 8mm wide bushings.... ( brass, silicone bronze (?)) the process of rebushing the throttle shafts, involves removing the throttle plate, then disasembly of the throttle plate, removal of the stock bushes ( aprox 3mm wide) they just pull out wit the use of a screwdriver.... also removed is a plastic bushing type of insert then the hole is drilled very slightly larger to accept the new bushing, ( I use a drill press to maintain alignment) the new bushing is installed ( for this I replace the 3mm bushing using the 8mm wide bushing to have a larger support area... I figure it would last longer than using the 3mm bushing...) then using the reamer I ream the hole by hand until the thottle shaft fits in and moves freely without binding, then assemble them using a little grease in the shaft bore, and using loctite on the screws with hold the butterfly in place..... then reasemble the carbs.... I have done a set of 32pdsit's, a set of 34pdsit's and a 34 pict 3 using this method and it works great.... no more fuel leaking out the throttle shafts.... I am not sure where you can buy this kit ( I have had it for a while) but if you can find a Schley Products distributor they can probably get it for you... I think I paid 30 for the kit.... need any more info just e-mail me...
