Title: 34 PICT 3 Throttle Shaft Bushings
Post by: pittwagen on February 25, 2013, 04:28:08 PM

Does anyone have a local source for 34 PICT 3 throttle shaft bushings.  The split plastic bushings on my 40 year old carbs are pretty much done.  The carbs function fine other than the problems associated with the air leaks at the throttle shaft.  I would rather repair the carbs than deal with the replacement ones that appear to have very mixed reviews.

I did find some on Ebay in the UK.  Anyone local?  Thanks for your help.
