The last rebuild kit I got from Burlen had the plastic/metal floats, go figger. The only replacement throttle shaft bushes from Burlen are the teflon coated steel so they should be the last bushes those carb bodies ever need as the shafts will wear long before the bushes do!

My biggest issue was getting that darned taper pin out of the throttle shaft and replacing it. I ended up drilling oversize and using a common sized roll-pin locally sourced. Try to get as small a gap between the bell-crank and the carb body without causing binding... Install the butterfly first before drilling the shaft!

I'm with ya, as I've always just redone my own.
