You could still remove the cast/machined steps without enlarging the throttle plate diameter. As said, 60mm is plenty large enough for a 133.

Not realy a problem for Ollie :cool: I hope its workable

The step is there for a reason though
I thought it was just to leave enough metal for when machining the bore to the right size to take the butterfly. The likes of Jenvey bodies etc don't have a step and I think mines been ok with the step smothed out.

whats the other reason(s)?
 
I don't think make too much difference but its 100% tere for a reason I can't remember the name of the effect sure it begins with a V though some guy brought it up when we were all getting ours done to 64mm on The old 197
 
ventury?


Me i think it's just because it cost to much money to make it properly
 
carbs use a venturi to create a low pressure across the fuel nozels, which then draws the fuel from the float chamber. So, yes theres a reason for a narrowing, but it could be a smooth narrowing, an angled hump or a step .

All a TB needs to do is regulate the airflow as the fuel is metered and added afterwards.

I think so, too. There will be casted raw parts that e.g. cover a bore from 60mm to 64mm and then these parts are drilled to their final diameter and nobody takes care for the step because it´s additional time in the production process and so additional costs. The effect removing it is not worth this money, but I think if it´s removed it won´t be a negative effect anyway. :)
 
Its only a small step, with one either side of the butterfly plate

After some work with the Dremel and sanding drum, followed by some 500 grit paper to remove the lip
