I improvised like Rudderless suggested. I took a closer look at what/where the slop was in the shaft. I put a washer on the nylon pin sitting at the base. Put the gear on. Wrapped a neat little strip of electrical tape around the rectangular foot of the shaft to make the foot fit tighter in the gear recess.
On the top throttle shaft bushing I wrapped a neatly cut strip of aluminum foil, wrapped it around the bushing recess on the shaft. Lubed the foil and bushing with motor oil, bolted it back together.The washer raised the shaft for a tighter fit. The foil and tape took the side to side slop out. I think it should last a long time. Thanks for the reply.
