I know this has been discussed a hundred times regarding replacing an original carb with a more current design. I've concluded I want to stay with the original. It has been rebuilt and runs ok but the throttle plate bushing is loose and if sprayed with carb cleaner engine stutters, know anyone who could replace just the bushing or is ok? Doesn't seem to be running lean which I would suspect it would

Thanks

Chris' Carbs in Dayton, OH or Daytona Parts can rebuild it and bush the loose hole.

I used CARBS USA in New Jersey CARBS USA for my 1956 Rochester 4bbl.  It came back like new.  I like that they test the carburetor on an engine before sending it back.  It is a total rebuild, and refinishing.
