Here is what is used on the 10, 12, 14 and 16 HP Kohlers. I'm not sure what a model n is. I checked on these Hilman 58087-A bushings and they were still available at $ .80 each.

I found some nylon bushing from Hillman that I'm making a tool for to use on the 7 & 8 HP carbs that have a 7/32" throttle shaft. I don't have 7 HP carb to rebuild so I can't show any pictures. Will add later

Tim,I use brass rod from the hardware store.I use a chucking reamer to get the hole to size and reuse the throttle plate.
All this is based on having access to a mill.

I never worked on the Carter Carbs but if it got a 1/4" throttle shaft those bushings might work.
