Daniel,
I think too much has been made of this throttle shaft issue. Wandering idle
is more often the result of a sticky breaker plate failing to return from
advance. If you have the problem, check or replace the breaker plate before
messing with the carbs.
That said, you could try smearing some wheel bearing grease over the shaft
ends to "seal" them, and see if the problem goes away. Clean the grease off
with carbcleaner (cold engine, no fires), then see if the symptom returns.
