Hello Don't know what carb you are talking about, if it is a Holley 4000 teapot, I redid bushing (bronze) in in primary throttle plate. Normally symptoms uneven idle ,hard to adjust idle screws as carb is pulling air in around loose fitting shafts. Most carbs (?) do not have TS bushing and it is a hard to repair. Great thing about teapots bushing are replaceable. When I did mine (just) the teflon bushing were not available so I used the complete kit with shaft, plate screws and instructions. If you dont have turning lathe I would buy kit with shafts. Check TB vendors for kits.
