With adequate resources it's clear that addressing both the shaft and bushing 
would be the optimum solution. However as an impoverished student over 50 years 
ago I recall changing out the throttle shafts on my Sprite, at minimal cost, 
convincing myself that this made a difference! Joe Curto wants around $500 to 
rebuild a pair of SUs. Now as a retiree I have more resources but still need to 
manage how much money I spend on my hobby.

If the wear is limited, maybe shaft replacement only might be cost effective?
