Default Re: Second version of the throttle assembly

Below each oiler hole, below the shaft, are 2 bulges.
I think someone indicated there's an oil saturated wick inside each bulge?

#1 question... is there some passageway for freshly applied oil to reach this wick...or is this an early forerunner of permanent/one time lubrication?

#2 another thing... of my shamefully small stash of only 6 throttle assemblies, two have the flat bottom.
Quite a few more pics have surfaced with this flat bottom unit...suggesting there must be thousands of them out there.
Is there some logical reason they didn't illustrate the flat bottom unit in the judging standards? .....Or....could it be the 2 dead guys responsible for the #2 ribbed assembly pic. actually meant to put in a flat bottom pic?
