Hi Alan- 


Great idea. I should have searched their inventory a little harder. I haven't 
replaced the bushes yet, and I'll definitely use the teflon instead. Thanks for 
your input

Tom - 

Have you tried a PTFE bushing in there instead of bronze? HD8 carbs use PTFE 
bushings and they really make a big difference - the shafts never wear and it 
is easy for me to get a rock steady idle at all temps on my HD8s. 

Was thinking this might be a better, longer lasting option.

I was thinking of just buying some of these, and then having them bored out to 
5/16" at a machine shop.
