After tearing down my carbs, examined the throttle shaft bores, and found that the inboard bores are just 8mm holes in the carb body. But the outboard (throttle lever side) bores appear to have split bushings. A magnet sticks to the bushing, so I can assume that they're steel.
Took close-up pics to see if others agree.
What appears to be a split is at the one o'clock position in the pics.

If these are indeed split steel bushings, I'll have to completely rethink the planned drill-and-bush project.
The inboard bores are good, no looseness.
So, gonna mull over this for awhile.
Any ideas for renewing these 8mm throttle shaft bores?
