If you do decide to go with a new base plate, consider one of the billet ones from Demon. Those will never break...well maybe never, but you'll actually have to try to break it!
Rebushing isn't hard to do, but it's absolutly critical that they align. I believe that a kit might be available. Try contacting "The Carb Shop" of Ontario California, or "Jones Carburation" also in California.

Dyno, the last time I was at Great Lakes the tall thin dude with glasses running the sling was telling me about a carb guy in Grand Haven who sets up carbs for NASCAR teams. According to him the two of them used to build & rebuild starters and stuff. If you do find this guys name please let know, it would be cool to find a good carb guy local.
