Fj40jim rebuilt my carb twice since maybe the early 2000s. I struggled to get it tuned recently. Seems like its just worn out? I rebuilt the engine but could never get it to idle. I bought a cheap Chinese one off Amazon and it works better. I’d love to put the stock carb back on. Can you keep rebuilding these, maybe shaft bushing replacement etc, or do they eventually just get worn out?
 
Can you keep rebuilding these,
Pretty much. I hope so at least. Jim C. did mine back in 2004, since then it's just a good cleaning and rebuild kit every now and then. I just ignore the shaft bushings. It's 53 years old, so far so good.
