Hey everyone,  I have an SU carb tuning/rebuild problem.  I spent hours
tuning my carbs, but something just wasn't right.  I finally found that they
are sucking air where the throttle rod passes through, on either side of the
butterflies on both sides (four leaks in all).  Z-Therapy rebuilt the carbs
about a year ago; I'm just now installing them.  I'm woried that the
alluminum carb bodies were too worn out to rebuild.  Is this a common
problem with rebuilding SUs?  Is there a known fix for this (don't say
Solex, I can't afford it)?  I haven't contacted Z-Therapy yet.  I'm sure
they'll be helpfull, but I'd like to fix this problem without shipping the
carbs back.

Thanks All!

That would be really appreciated, Yes.  What you say about info being 
presented differently can make all the difference.  It's nice to have 
multiple sources.
