How to seal throttle shafts?
I need to figure out a way to make my throttle shafts air tight..or at least as close to it as I can get. They're pretty leaky right now, and that will be a problem when I get my blowthrough turbo setup underway. I don;t really want air/fuel mix blown all over my engine bay
I've thought about maybe countersinking the holes in the carb base a size larger, and sinking a plastic bushing coated in grease in ti..around the throttle shaft. Course...I have no idea where I'd get the bushings.

Yep, you can take your ergonomically designed, space age, computer controlled, 4 door, cup holding map lighted split double wishbone split fold down retractable cargo covered moon roof piece of transportation and keep it. For I have felt the thunder. And I know the difference!"

Would the leaking throttle shafts be on your 6210, Mine leak like a siv(sp).
I talked to a guy who owns a car shop an he gave a price of $65 for a rebuilt base plate You might want to email him, His name is

Yeah spud, it's the 6210. I don't think a rebuilt base will really be ebough tho..I want the tolerances pretty tight. I think if it comes to that, I'll buy a proper double pumper new. That bushing set might have potential..I have to do more research yet to see whats available.
