Wobbly throttle.

[mattc]

The main throttle shaft on my carb has loads of play and was wondering if I can do something to sort it out.

I was affraid you was going to say that, another job before I get to play.....
Cheers Matt.

Only real thing to do is buy a new carb....the hole's in the carb body get worn..
from use..dirt..sand what ever...If you get 1 years from the carb..that is good service,,,
just my opinion..slawhammer

Why not try a Holley four barrel?

if it's an 813 you can get a replacement and maybe a few more months out of it, the ball spring puts pressure on it and wears real fast, but as slaw says carbs only last a year or so...i got 18mths out of one of my 813's then it took a big dump flooding badly but that's another storythat is a sore point with me right now...hey Roger

 

[slawhammer]

Hey Mooo..I will sit in the corner and be quite ..on the 813 carb....
My point is: these carbs do not cost all that much....Replace it if you get close to a
years use from it.....Slawhammer

Thanks guys, I had a old carb kicking around with a busted choke, so I made a good one out of two. Not sure on the carb type, but I guess they all work yeah?

o.k. for you guys with DDM selling 813's for $45
over here in the uk they cost £45 (approx double what you pay!!!)
when we order from the states it takes about a month to get here
:no:

 

[pipeous]

Takes about a month just across the border too unless we ship ups or some other courier.

You missed out there Tong,DDM had a 'deal of the day' on 813's for about £20.00.My Mate bought two and waited 9 days for his,pretty good i think.
