    Default Throttle Sticky to Close

    Any simple adjustments or lubrication to improve/"smooth" the last 25% of travel on the throttle knob?

    Since it is in the last 25% could it be the cable or carb linkage rather than the throttle? One would expect the drag to be linear on the throttle itself.

    Had same problem on N13AQ inMay. Diagnosed as plugged port on acceleration pump. Sent carburetor to overhaul shop and fixed. About a $500 repair including removing and reinstalling by an 85 dollar per hour shop.

    However again getting g just a little resistance about 2/3 of way in,
