Throttle shaft/plate wear.

Is this wear in the wall of the carb body going to be a problem.


It appears the throttle plates have rubbed and worn both the plates and right around the throttle shaft. What would have caused this? Fixable or not really an issue? It's hard to tell from the pics but the actual bore of both carbs is worn allowing a small gap. Carbs are riva powerbombs.

get a shaft and butterfly kit.good to go.the wear in the bore is negligible..
you can put clamps and shims on the shafts to stop this.the slave carb usually is worse.

I've got a set of old 48s that's got some wear like that, not quite as bad as those. You might have trouble getting the worn plates out of there, sometimes they have to be cut out.

The cause is no shaft support from the fuel carb setup.
When you cut the shaft down to inline the two carbs a plastic washer and the carb coupler need to be slid up to carb body snug so the shaft can't move side to side. Basically what happen is the butterfly was your shaft stop and it was free to move left right because there no shaft support.
I see it way to often.
