I had a cylinder shut down, and the fuel pump quit-oh,joy! I pulled the carburetors out to clean them and noticed a hitch in the vacuum pistons due to wear. Anyone know a good source for these? $140 each seems excessive to me. Would blending out the wear on the sliding part of the pistons be advisable or cause more trouble than its worth?
thanks

Just polish the slides and remove all burrs be careful not to tear the rubber
