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)
