Not a good idea, perhaps, but mere hours before leaving on the current 6,000 mile US loop, I blandly decided to adjust the throttle switch since it didn't seem quick enough. Got the "don't change, factory adjust only" screw and the throttle switch exactly right per paper and feeler guage. Now the throttle switch works right most of the time, but when in cooler weather (60 F) the switch is lazy. If the accelerator is let off abruptly, it switches, but if the accelerator is let off normally, the switch doesn't come on. Sprayed with WD-40, but really didn't help. In hotter weather works fine. And stripped the small allen screw because I didn't open up the large one enough. Read that someone rebuilt the throttle switch. Any pointers? Seems that cleaning it and replacing the stripped screws might be in order. Is there a step by step in the archives? DIGITOOL: don't even think about leaving your driveway without it.
