Hi Guys
What is concidered an ok amount of throttle shaft play?
Mine is similar to this video

Reason im asking is because i have some play in the shaft and when i turn the fuel pump on and pump the throttle i will get some fuel leaking out of both ends of the throttle shaft ( now I know that pumping the throttle squirts fuel into the neck and fuel willl run down the walls back into the air box)
But I just want to confirm if this is concidered normal as I have seen some stains on the top of my airbox indicating a fuel leak from this exact area over the last 150hrs and I have tightened all carb 2 bowl bolts, new gasket, and acc pump seals are good.
You can see the wet fuel on both sides of the throttle shaft in the below picture after pumping the throttle twice.
