Subject:      throttle body rebuild
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
My throttle body is pretty much shot and I'm tired of messing with the TPS
to get it switch at idle. Because of the wear in the bushings the throttle
plate doesn't always return to the same position so I have to set the TPS
to switch a bit above the idle position. Works some of the time...

So... I see that Go Westy offers a rebuilt throttle body with ball bearings
for the shaft, new throttle plate, with TPS, all adjusted and ready to go.
Not too bad at $250 if it's a quality rebuild. Does anyone have any
experience with this product or know of any better options? I have a spare
that I could send to be rebuilt if I knew where to send it...
