what was the intent of the coating, anyone know?  Irony would state that it was a not stick coating of some sort, since it seems to cause more problems than it solves.

Our slides have a factory teflon coating to keep them from sticking and dragging.  It wears off with enough slides back & forth with dirty air particles, etc sticking around to enhance the wear action.

Such is life with a CV carb.  They work worse & worse the older they get.

I've always wondered, if nothing sticks to Teflon, how do they get Teflon to stick to so many things?

Could a guy re-teflon that slide?  I've never bothered to see if it is available in stores.

i sanded mine off with a green scratch pad. was contemplating buying a new slide, but figured it couldnt do any harm. none of my other bikes ever had any type of coating, although the amals on my old triumph couldve used it Grin

The slide is plated / anodized to prevent corrosion.  Try to leave as much on as you can.
