Hi Mike,
I don't have a spare set of carbs to sell, but wanted to pass on some carb info
based on my experiences with SU carbs. The HS2's are all pretty similar and
any will work no matter what the AUD number. Worn throttle shafts can be fixed
99% of the time by simply replacing the throttle shaft. The carb body itself
does not wear out, only the shaft. So no worries about installing bushings. I
buy carb rebuild kits from MiniSpares in England for considerably less than
what the guys here in the US sell them for. The kits genuine SU parts and are
very complete with new throttle shafts, throttle plates, etc. Shipping is very
fast and not too expensive. They use DHL Express for shipping and stuff
ordered from them usually arrives in 3-4 days rather than the 7-10 days when
ordering from Moss.
