Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Throttle shaft bushing fix was created by Trouty56
Be pulling a few carbs for rebuilds this year and if the throttle shaft is loose am going to try this.....

Info from the video...."THE THRUST BEARING IS 1/4 X 7/16 X 1/16 THICK BRONZE AND THE SCREWS ARE 3-48 X 1/4 BRASS,"

Guess he used a drill press for convenience to set the bronze thrust bearing.....quick and easy.....little loctite....



Tried to put some ebay link in.....no go!!!

Great tip Bob and it really works well. Done a couple of them using 2 Hillman 58087-A 1/4 x 7/16 x 1/16 bronze thrust bearings stacked in the recess. A single would probably work okay but @ $.80 ea from Ace Hardware doubling them up seemed like a good idea.
