    Thanks for letting us know how it went. It really helps to make the thread useful in the future when someone else with similar problems is searching the forum.

    Check out USA evil bay for a 1/4" bushing kit, comes with a reamer for fitting the bushes although you need to put a reverse cut on the handle end. This allows you to ream one side of the carby using the existing holes then fit the new bush; reverse the reamer and do the other side. Rick.

    Do you have an item number for this tool? I could not find anything but maybe I searched the wrong thing.
    thanks

    John, do you know what SU would be suitable?
    Would one from a 2.6 be too big?

    No, I can't help, but I seem to remember it being discussed here several years ago, so a search should find it.

    Mine was a Zenith and the throttle spindle was smaller than 1/4" so the kit Rick generously lent me wasn't going to work - so I took the carb and a carb refurb kit out to Canberra Carburettors in Murrumbateman and he sorted the spindle for me - made a beautiful job of it. Around $100...
