hey guys just after a bit of advice... the first 1mm of movement in the t/b is very tuff, like its stuck. i often need to apply alot of pressure to overcome this first 1mm (once past this all movement is fine) stuck bit which means i often stab the throttle to far and what is meant to be light throttle turns into far too much throttle. has anyone else experianced this with their t/bs? i have tried lubing up all external bits (the metering rod, springs etc) next i was going to have a look at the insides and see if maybe the butterfly is getting caught on something. any ideas? its pissing me off lol, its so *** hard to park the car with no power steering, the minispool and now no lighht throttle
