Holley 2280 throttle bushings

Although it is hard to tell from the pic, I doubt that that amount of wear is causing the problem.
I have always found 4 bbl Holleys to have a lot of shaft clearance, even when new, compared to other brands, so 2 bbls probably the same.

Worn shafts [ if they are worn ] do not cause fuel to drip. I suspect that you have a high fuel level issue which is causing the idle problem; flooding could be the cause because of leaking n/seat, leaking/binding float etc. You are probably only seeing the external leakage, engine off, because the engine is drawing the fuel IN when it is running.
Thanks for the heads up. I will check that the float isn't sticking and recheck the height.

I can also take some measurements with my calipers of the work and non worn areas of the shaft.

When I tried again the other day before taking the carb apart the engine would run if I reved it up and would idle for a few seconds before cutting out.
