           Yes, Throttle switch bad, or out of adjustment. There is
           a updated switch you need from the dealer. I have not
           found any of the original switchs working!

Thanks Eric, you came through again.  I just finished troubleshooting a
poor/cut out at acceleration to the throttle switch.  It didn't close at
idle.  I readjusted it and still didn't work.  I removed it last night and
found the whole switch assembly is so loose that it cannot possibly meet the
.002 to .004 inch spec.  For now I adjusted it all the way to the "surge"
position but at least I can accelerate. The knowlegeable dealer in another
part of the state did tell me that a new one was produced later, too.  I'll
order one ($65) for next week.
