My '81 a/c 2.0L on twin solex carbs won't settle to idle. I think it needs the bushings on the end of the spindle that opens the carbs replacing. Any ideas where I could order them from?
I thought I would sort this out after getting my van fixed after it started firing on three cylinders. Turned out to be a split rubber junction that goes into the right side carb. I think the other side is T shaped. Any ideas if I can these as a replacement part as well? Thanks.

Any good local engineer with a lathe should be able to sort these for you. Midlands particularly has many ex-engineers who operate from sheds, garages etc and will probably make a better job than when the carb was new.
I know at least three such individuals across the country and have had numerous bugs and campers rebushed by Roger Ball in Clacton and more recently, Graham Wilford, Coventry.

Mine (T25 1980 2lt a/c) were recently serviced by gasure but failed the MOT and I had to replace the whole carbs (another story). Therefore have a set of throttle boddies that I could sell to you...if you want, before they go on ebay?

Justkampers.co.uk sell the rubber t piece things. Gasure dont do a mail order refurb service anymore, so you'd have to take it to them. I'm trying to source new bushings myself (see other thread) with little success so far....
