carb rebuild question, throttle bearings Options

[tat2dphreak]

ok, my set of weber 40s... they are old(built in the early 80s by his estimation). my mechanic cannot replace the throttle bearings and thus, they do not idle right once the engine gets warm, it's like they are always slightly "cracked" open, when warm.

is there a place that can rebuild these and make them "new" again? or is it time to start carb shopping?

fron what I understand, the new carbs have a plate on the front, and one on the back that can be removed to replace the throttle shaft bearings, but this set only has 1 plate, so the bearings are not replaced(at least by normal means)

yes, I can get the carbs off... i've done 90% of the work on my car, but I have used Wes for things I wanted to make sure got done right... he rebuilt the engine, but even said then the carbs weren't "right" he remember when they changed over to the new style, allowing the new bushings to be re-pressed and revamping the carbs.

if it will cost $500 to send them off, then of course new carbs are more cost effective. but if both can be done for 300 then it is a call leaning more to repair instead of replace.
