Bob,

Are you sure the linkage is allowing the butterflies to close completely?  =
That was the problem I had when I first put the rebuilt carbs back on my ca=
r.

The Moss reamer cuts a hole that is 10 thousands (nominal) oversize, and re=
quires you to use ten thousandths oversize throttle shafts.  The reamer has=
 an extended pilot, so that, even when reaming by hand, the alignment betwe=
en the holes on each side of the throttle body is maintained.  To that exte=
nt, it is a special reamer, which accounts for its price.  I found other pi=
loted reamers, but they are chucking reamers and the pilot is quite short, =
so you would have to set the carb body up on a good drill press (or vertica=
l mill, preferably) with the axis of the throttle bushing holes perfectly v=
ertical.  The body would have to be clamped to an angle plate in some manne=
r.  Such a reamer, of the right size, can be found here...

iloted-chucking-reamers.html

Part number 99-703 is what you would want.  But, unless you've done this ki=
nd of set-up before, I wouldn't recommend doing this.  I think sending the =
bodies out to have new oversized shafts fitted might be the most expedient =
thing.

I have a 1965 Triumph TR4a that I rebuilt the SU carbs and now I can't get =
the idle below about 1500. I've tried all the screws and checked all gasket=
s and nothing. The only possibility I can come up with is air getting aroun=

I didn't have a reamer. Moss has a reamer for $290.00. I looked on line and=
 can't find a less expensive replacement. The book states the size of the r=
eamer is 5/16" + 0.0105". What kind of measurement is this? Can you use a 5=
/16" reamer?
Does anyone have ideas how I can get the idle down? Does anyone know of a c=
heaper reamer to use? Thanks, Bob
