I have an SU master kit for HS6 carbs (1.75") which includes standard size thottle shafts and bushings. The carbs I'm rebuilding currently have bushings. Did this type of carb original have bushings or were they only added during a rebuild? I'm wondering if I can remove the old bushings with a tap or EZ-out or if milling them out is the recommended way (not that precision milling and turning is a problem)? What do you think of the idea of replacing the metal bushings with delrin .. similar to the bushings for the HD8 carb? Seems like the brass throttle shafts wear quickly and having more compliant bush material would help in this area but there may be a downside. Opinions?
Cheers,
John
