You may look into Amal carb rebuilding places. I'm not a vintage British guy, but I think those carbs get resleeved alot? Maybe they could help you out.
This is a limited production Keihin carb. that only came on the 78' CB125S, a #PD66 and it performs good along w/ the atomizer plate that came stock on that model/yr. bike. I want to adapt it to my XL200R engine w/ the ported head,etc. that I'll be installing in the bike.
I want to restore the slide bore so it's as good as can be,I don't mind spending a little to do that.The carb. has a bit of corrosion along w/ the PO running it w/o a filter and the slide fits a bit loose but the slide itself is mint..;I want to make it Nice again. Here's a couple pics
I'll figure out a way to do it
I like this little carb. & just hate to toss it away. There's also a small hard plastic 'slide locating peg' on one side to keep the slide inline and that will have to be re-installed.
I understand I've got a couple different engines w/ different carbs. that I'll be using though and truly desire to 'tighten up' the bore on this little carb.
Is the carb aluminum or zinc? Guessing aluminum. Anodizing maybe. A good machinist could bore it out and resleeve it. " If there is a will, there is a way". My Mom used to say that. She is mostly right! Let me know what your solution is.

This is a Keihin oem aluminum carb.
Thanks for the encouragement jimmer,I'm trying right now to find a place that will re-sleeve it similar to how they do vintage Amal British carbs. only difference is this one has the plastic locating 'peg' for the slide.
yeah,that's what i was originally thinking..coating the slide itself because it's in great cond. only,the slide bore inside the carb. is corroded down bottom on the sides more than anywhere else and i should get the bore sleeved

The more I consider it I think it will make the most sense for me to get the carb slide bore coated which will fill-in where the corrosion has gotten a hold of the slide bore down the bottom.I've decided to keep this carb. body because it's what I'm looking for.
Now.. to find a place that will apply a durable coating to the slide bore,that's the 'challenge' :
