So important. Here's a trick, a Bandaid or plaster if you will, to get
you by if costly rebuilds are not an option. Fixing worn throttle shaft
bores with new bushings is a serious repair, and the correct way to fix the
vacuum leak. However, the following short term solution is to address the
symptom, not the problem.
Disassemble all the linkage at the carburetors. Purchase a few felt
washers the size of the throttle shafts or a little smaller, and a tube of
laboratory vacuum grease, the stuff they use to seal vacuum leaks in
laboratory glassware. Saturate the felt washers with vacuum grease as well
as the shafts where they exit the carb body and slide the greased washers
up against the body. Place a flat washer on the shaft and reassemble the
linkage, pressing the flat washer gently against the felt washer. The flat
washer and linkage will hold the greased felt washer in place and the
vacuum grease will seal the vacuum leak!
Vacuum grease is made to withstand a bit of heat but also, to not
'migrate'. It will stay in place rather than get sucked into the carb's
choke like regular grease would do (once hot). The felt washer also helps.
Yes, this is a temporary fix, not a proper repair. But it is also a
$10 temporary
fix, not a $500 repair.
A final word. Take care to reinstall the air chamber covers correctly
(Not interchanged!) and verify that the air pistons drop freely on to the
bridge with the dampers removed. Tighten the cover screws evenly working
around the carb until they are snug.
Good luck! You're on the right track.

al">=C2=A0 =C2=A0When reassembling the waterpump I made a newbie error. I g=
ot in a hurry and left out two bolts, some of the bolts that hold the pump =
body to the head. The coolant leak is through one of those bolt holes. The =
threaded hole drilling entered the head's water jacket and of course, l=
eaks.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class=3D"MsoNormal">=C2=A0 =C2=A0I now=
have new bolts and I will apply sealant to the threads and place fiber sea=
ling washers under the bolt heads. Doing so hopefully completes the engine =
rebuild. I can then get back to replacing the top on my MG TD.<u></u><u></u=
