Default TBI suggestions

Just finished cleaning my TBI. Unbelievable how nasty it was. I guess I cleaned it too well - cannot get it adjusted now due to excessive wear on the linkage. There is approximately 1/8" of play in the shaft now that 124K worth of gonge is gone. Not having much luck finding anything but upgrade racing units so far. Most places I have tried do not even list them.

Most carb rebuilders can "re-bush the bushings". I'm not familiar with where you are located, but if it is in southern IN, I might have a place for you. The guy was one of the best carb guys down there. Not sure how much he does with them now since he opened up an actual auto repair shop. Good luck, -Matt-

Thanks for the rebuilder idea. Unfortunately I am about 2 hours North of you close to the Chicago city limits.

I've got the same problem. Does anybody know of any rebuilder where I could ship a TB and get it rebuilt. Would it be worth it or would it cost enough you would end up wishing you had just bought an new aftermarket 52MM?
