Re: How to assess whether a carb is worth rebuilding?
I've cleaned carbs in 50/50 PineSol and Water. If you leave it in too long, it will remove the protective coating on the carb (if it has one).
Worn throttle shaft bores can be re-bushed, I've done a few. Your local parts store probably has bronze bushings in a size you can use. If you don't have the tools, and machine shop can probably bore the holes out for you for cheap.
In my opinion, if the throttle always closes to the same place (you don't have a different idle speed every time you close the throttle), I wouldn't worry about the shaft bushings.
Anything is rebuildable.
