Subject:Re: (Bad Throttle positioning switch?) Engine Hesitation / No throttle response
From:Barrett Willet

While adjusting my throttle positioning switch it's been practically
impossible to achieve a reliable "click" at just off idle and at full
throttle.  I can either get one position to click or the other.
Is this a definite sign that the switch is going bad?

Thanks
Barrett
