Whistling is not likely the throttle shafts, check to see if there are two air holes inside the choke housing toward the front. That is where the whistling is comming from.

mine whistles at a certain idle rpm, shafts are tight, i have the choke removed, but if i put the air cleaner on, cant hear it. Might be just one of those things The real trick is tuneing it without A/F meter.

The two holes I am refering to are not small air bleeds. I am guessing .100 inch.
Look closely, staight back from the front two top fasteners. There is not a problem but they will wistle.

I ran a TQ for years on the GTX, they will whistle at certain throttle openings.
Most of the time you don't hear it unless you have an open air cleaner.
