[TR] throttle shaft reaming

[spamiam at comcast.net]

Well, I had thought the same thing.  I used a slightly undersize reamer to 
account for this and for wobble when manually turning the reamer.  I also 
put a slight bevel on the corner of the cutting flutes so there is no burr 
that may take off more metal than planned.

It seemed to work OK, but I'd recommend working on a junk carb first to 
check out your success.  Also, you can look for the source for the piloted 
reamer that is used by Joe Curto.

My concern with modifying the reamer by hand is that you could make the
reamer cut oversize, which kind of negates the whole purpose of using the
reamer in the first place.  But this is just my opinion, which, when coupled
with 99 cents, might buy you a bag of Peanut M&Ms which some people would
say are by far the more valuable part of the duo! :)
