Refurbishing and rebuilding older carburettors is all part of the fun of running older classic machines, except when it stops becoming fun and turns into a problem; trying to tune and balance the old carbs can be fraught with so many worn internals to deal with.
The easiest solution, when new OEM carbs are still available, is to replace the old carb with a new component.
If a new assembly is no longer available, then check our carb components schematic. You maybe pleasantly surprised at just how many spares we are still able to supply?

Don't waste time trying to refurbish the old item, simply replace it with a brand-new part instead, whilst they are still available. Add as many parts as you wish to the same shopping cart, new inlet gaskets, fuel hoses and clips, nuts and spring washers for example, and still only pay the same single fixed price shipping cost.
