EAB Carburetor Issues

[Scotty's 52 F3]

I have an off idle stumble on my 52 F3 239. Starts right up cold or hot and idles fine. Almost seems like the accelerator pump squirt is delayed. It works, just seems late.

I put a kit in it when I first got the truck just to get it going. Today I pulled the carb off and took a closer look. Got a lot of white crud in the bottom of the fuel bowl for only about a year of running. Ethanol fuel? Entire fuel system was cleaned when I did the carb.

There is a lot of play on the linkage side of the throttle shaft. For some reason the throttle plates were riveted on with tubular brass rivets. The shaft needs to be replaced. Where can I find one like this? Not the extra long type for multi carb setups. I have the hand throttle to hook back up.

I'm going to have to chuck the base in the lathe or drill press and make a bushing for this wore out hole. The boss sticking out in the pic will chuck up pretty tight.

The second last pic shows a worn out bushing for the accelerator pump rod. I'm wondering if this is the cause of my pump delay? Thinking it may move laterally before pushing up and stroking the pump. Any thoughts on this?

The last pic showing model number? EAB. Any kit recommendations for this carb would be appreciated.

I sent a PM to Charlie NY but he is booked for a while and I'd like to try to fix it. I think I can bush the base, just need a source for a new shaft and a good kit.
