The hardwood dowel is a good tip. If you wear out the buffing insert on mine it does mar the surface a little.

All 9 carbs are cleaned up but disassembled and the six best ones have new shafts. I would have liked to chrome them but it was too much $$s. I painted them silver with ceramic paint (poof can). I also bought kits and new stainless screws for them. If I actually use this setup I'll have to decide if I want to run off of just two carbs or all six. Then I'll have to buy the appropriate power valves, linkage, fuel lines and air cleaners. We'll see.

If you're really bored you can look at the attached spreadsheet to see the hodge-podge of 94s I'm working with...
