If it's mechanical it must be a 3116.

It may not survive too long if it's pushed any more. In any case, they should be the same as a 3116:
To gain access to the fuel screw on the 3116, you must remove the valve cover. If the seal tag/plate is still present it will need to be removed. You will need to remove the tag by removing the rocker shaft stand bolt. The screw and lock nut are on the rack bar. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase rack travel. One source says you'll need some special tool to do it, I have yet to verify.

Most any injector can be extrude honed. You could also send a PM to DonM and see if he can make you some EDM ones. For reference, click on the link in my signature...there's a few more engines listed.
