Default Carburetor Bushing for throttle shaft

No pics yet, I will snap some when I install them, I made several bushing for the throttle shaft/carb body for my 1450 today, it was not worn much at all, however some play in it. My son has a John Deere 214 that has pretty much the same motor, and his having a lot more play, so I turned off enough bushings to fix them both. I had all the stuff to do it with, . I purchased a 1/4" reamer awhile back, and that took longer than anything finding it !! All I had was 360 brass around, so that was used, ID came out perfect using a pin gauge, and calipers measuring exactly .2500". I will install these tomorrow, and looking at ordering some bronze for future bushings as it seems making bushings come up often in my tinkering.

For those that have put bushings in is it a light press fit, or a really hard press fit ?
