I've got a rough idle as well. Fortunately that's my only problem, at
least right now (knock on wooden body members).
Since I also need to do the loose shaft repair, and knew it 4 years ago,
I bought the bushings & new shafts. What I didn't buy was the reamer
Moss sells. $125!
I did find a kit of .375" reamers with .308 pilot shafts on them for $6
on Ebay. We'll see how they works.
