Probably a political problem, not a carburetor problem. wink

Find someone that has a digital caliper, and measure the clearance from the throttle shaft to the throttle body. If it exceeds 0.010 (10 thousanths) inch, then probably may be repaired with a new throttle shaft. New old stock shafts may be available, depending on which YF.

I don't remember ever doing a Carter YF with excessive clearance. Very rare.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
