not a problem Alex next time (when Im allowed out again) when we put Frank into PJ
Paul Ive done a bit of research on that leaking butterfly shaft and the shaft is stepped inside the the base plate (will try to find a photo) so over time it will gum up but to solve the problem quickly Ive been told it can be packed with hi temp grease (bags not trying to get the butterflys off the shaft)
all in all a fun time ( apart from the melting coil and dying ancient ignition)

Sounds dodgy to me but we can try it. I'd look in the Quokka for a cheap 350 that doesn't have shaft playTOONGA wrote:Paul Ive done a bit of research on that leaking butterfly shaft and the shaft is stepped inside the the base plate (will try to find a photo) so over time it will gum up but to solve the problem quickly Ive been told it can be packed with hi temp grease (bags not trying to get the butterflys off the shaft)

Well yes any machining off the shaft will make it weaker then not machined but can't see it braking unless something causes the shaft to not turn (seized bush or the like). I'd look for a good secondhand one, try and phone anyone that rebuilds Holleys/carbies and see if they have any shafts or something? Just thinking out loud
