gt14rider 917 #1 Posted May 29 Hi all, @ebinmaine, working on my 856's carb and throttle shaft on carb needs a bushings, it is a Carter model N # 22 the shaft is 7/32, not 1/4" like bigger carbs are. Is there a p/n for the bushing or do I have to make one? Mcmaster carr has a 7/32" x 7/16" x 3/4" bushing or 1/2" x 6 1/2" oil embedded bronze rod. Any info would be appreciated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 917 #3 Posted May 29 The shaft is 7/32" I have the 1/4 x 7/16" x 1/16. That's the problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 51,330 #5 Posted May 30 3 hours ago, gt14rider said: I have the 1/4 x 7/16" x 1/16. Pretty sure that's what EB uses. I thought there was a kit out there for doing it ... flea bay maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 917 #7 Posted May 30 The 1/4" shaft is out of a carb off a 12hp or 14 hp. The 7/32" shaft out of 8hp. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 71,762 #9 Posted May 30 Appreciate the "mention" guys... If I've ever had a small block carb need a gasket it's been near to forever. They don't seem to wear as much as the big ones. @76c12091520h. Do you sell these smaller bushings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gt14rider 917 #10 Posted Wednesday at 06:30 PM @ebinmaine Got some time on the lathe, got some oil embedded bronze from Mcmaster carr, the 3/4" bushing was a little tight to work with, but got one bushing done. Started turning down the 6" rod . Got it down to 0.010 ,going for the finnish cut,and drive pulley on lathe broke in half. I made the bushing 1/8" thick x 7/32" I'd. X 13/32" od Took pre filter and hole punch and made some carb shaft gaskets, poked a hole with an awl. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
