Subject:Re: TJ Hannink does it again! Throttle Switch Adjustment

Thanks for the write up John.  You are right it's a great resource
for all of us to have this info.  I am wondering if you ran into any
issues with the adjustment related to the throttle shaft being
worn?  That's the problem I have.  If I lift up on the throttle
shaft, the switch works great.  In normal operation it's not
consistent.  If I let the throttle close quickly, it works fine.  If
I slowly ease off of it from barely open to closed, there is not
enough momentum to nudge the switch closed.
