Have you considered a new one as they are available from burlen?

Well mainly cost as the rest of the carb is in good condition. Also I had a re sleeve done years ago when the A7 was iron head spec and was impressed by the improvement for cost ratio(can't use that carb except as a stand in as its 15/16 not 1")

If going for a re-sleeve, might be worth trying to get a hard chromed brass slide if the coffers can run to it, Amals were doing them a year or so ago, might be worth checking.

Hi All,
Re, reconditioning carbs,
Sleeving the body to accept standard slides is a lot more expensive than either adding a sleeve of suitable material to the existing slide or fitting an oversize slide, I have been told that ordinary mild steel is best for sleeving mazac carbs/ slides, I have not tried this yet though,
The sleeve can be epoxied onto the original slide

Oversize slides for pre monobloc carbs are sold on ebay by a seller B561

Fit a new needle jet and needle at the same time

Sort of started getting this fixed. I have put the 15/16 inch sleeved carb I had from running the iron head. It was running really rough and trying to cut out half way to work, strange thought i must be the carb. So stripped it down at work(good job they are easy to work on  ). Strange again no problems then checked the plugs and found the bike had decided to kill a plug at exactley the same time I changed the carb typical . Runs fine now but still has a little stutter as you accelerate but not as much as the worn carb.
