Anybody know of a good fix for a scored butterfly shaft and bore? Other than replacing the carb body and butterfly shaft, which I fear is what I must do.

Never saw anything like that. There is a new right side carb on ebay.

You can get a little fancier with links, but this "bare bones" approach is all you really need.

Ooh, thanks!

Anybody think I can get away with just replacing the shaft? (As an option, in case I don't get the carb)

OK I will send you the carb bodies I might have lying about.Just pay for shipping. Just swap everyhting over from your carbs.
Cool.

Perfect!  That was easy, wasn't it?

I'm not sure if you're kicking and screaming, but we'll drag you into the future yet.
