Yes, I do understand that it'd probably be best to simply replace the damaged carb body. Originally that was the plan, however, my
thorough search to find the correct carb body had only given me very few leads. The price quotes I'd received were way out of my reach financially. Therefore, I really was hopeful to maybe fix what'd gotten all screwed up.
I might have to just come to an understanding that I may not ride this season. It's only a few simple things left before the bike is completed, BUT seems financially not achievable right now.
Thanks a million!!

Agree with Scirocco, please post up some photos of what you are dealing with. Maybe then we can offer suggestions.
In general, to make the insert like I did, first thing is to get a reamer of a suitable size and drill and then ream the carb body oversize. It's critical to do this so the new hole is on center with the original. This requires some careful setup so don't rush. Then turn a small piece of brass on a lathe leaving the OD about .001" larger than your hole, and then drill and thread the inside. Last step is to press your new bushing into the carb body.

DonĀ“t bent it over the knee,i mean no hurry.
Everything else lead you into a disaster, special things need some time/skills to fix it.
