I prefer to keep all my fingers.
I managed to find the jig that I used last time, just screw in, and machine it flush with the jig and leave 1.5mm by 2 dia poking out.
The hard bit seems to be digging out the rock hard felt dust seals and corresponding retainers. Been soaking in duck oil for 2 weeks and no sign of them softening.
At least the bushes didn't get wrecked this time.
The last time I did a set of carbs they came out in one piece, soak/wash in paraffin, dry and they were reusable.
Regards
Dave

Not all of us have a lathe, we make do with what we’ve got. I’ve done about 5 of the screws now in a drill and haven’t even scratched myself.
Which felt washers? The ones on the choke bar or the vacuum adjusters? Can’t recall any on the throttle rod myself but it has been a while since I’ve done one. I make all the felt washers for the carbs btw, in case you end up needing them.
exvalvesetdabbler:
Yes the felts, 4 of them are on the rod each one capped off with a small retainer ring..
They are easy enough to make if you have a set of cork borers and a bit of wool felt.
