If the pitting is not too bad, it can be honed.  I used a dowel rod, cut a slit down one end, and stuck some high# grit wet/dry sandpaper in the slot.  Put the dowel in your drill, and have at it.


Are you saying this is the first time in this whole deal that you have pulled the M/C apart???

It's a pretty simple contraption.  Just clean, polish the bore, make sure all little holes are clean/open...
