K181 throttle shaft bushings

[Mark siebenaler 107]

I've been looking high and low for brass bushing ..  size is about.   .406 or 13/32 outside diameter and .216 or 1/5 inside diameter. 

Not the same as the bigger kohler carburetors.

Anyone with  a source or will they need to be machined?

Check McMaster Carr. 

If not there you can use a bolt to hold the oversized bushings in a drill to sand the outsides down some.

Looked could not find anything there 

Should have a bunch made up and 

Give them to others looking  i have Carter carberaters both have bad play .

Thinking if you have to make one might as well make 30 or so not any more work really.

I'd agree with that

Mark - do check the throttle shaft itself for wear. Minor wear with new bushings makes it better - a solid unworn shaft makes it right...

That's definitely a good point on the small block carbs. 

Some don't have the recess to accept the bushings which moves the wear point on the shaft.

Shaft is worn you can see it not a big deal couple spot welds and belt sander .

Yes I do have micrometer.
