TJP, Yes, I did all that you listed. I guess you missed the part where I noted wiggling the primary throttle shaft I can get a "loud" whistle. I've ran my vehicles a long time even back with carb'd engines so I've seen a few worn primary shafts. This one is the worst I've ever seen by a lot. This prompted me to go measure it. Shaft play measured at the body is .035". This TQ I have needs significant repair. Thus for all the reasons I've stated, I am not looking to do right now. Its not because I can't. Don't get me wrong I appreciate your points, and they are valid. They just don't fit me at this time.
