It's in good shape. I thoroughly inspected the carb when I rebuilt it, and the shaft bushings don't have what I would consider excessive play in them.

Thanks for the reminder-- I have to back that mixture screw out a half turn or so, although I set it to the specified initial setting, and I'm at about 5000' feet elevation. Maybe I'll make that change a last resort.

I'll check that shaft play, even so. Thank you.
