Throttle linkage lateral play (carbs)

Getting down into the nitty gritty of carb tuning and such, and came to the issue of setting the linkage to being as close to perfect as humanly possible.

Is there a factory specification for how much lateral/side to side play there should be in the cross bar between each carb? My cross bar seems awfully tight between the two pivot studs, and I was concerned it may be causing the linkage to stick when the throttle returns to the idle position.

Or, is it just a matter of it being not too loose, but not too tight?

Thanks in advance,
Ethan

BTW, in case there's any confusion, the red lines in the picture below are the surfaces I'm speaking of
