In disassembling the carbs on my 1973 TR6 (175CD-2SEV), I noticed that the
orifice in both jets has been worn into an oval.  Assuming that this is not
good, Ive searched through several references (Bentley, Hayes, Buckeye) and
no one talks about replacing these jets.  Is that some that a mere mortal
can do in his own garage with normal tools  or should this be done by a
professional shop instead?

Thinking that sending them to a rebuild shop might be an option, I looked at
a Paltech (http://www.paltech1.com/) who are now selling carb rebuilds on
eBay.  Has anyone had any experience with this vendor?  Are there other ZS
carb rebuild vendors out that I should look at instead?

Thanks so much in advance,

Brian Lanoway
