Hey y'all,
Haven't posted for a while, been reading posts, but can't believe it has been so long since I posted. Anyway, got an unusual problem.
The throttle on my 100M has been sticking open occasionally and got me stumped. Not all the time, could be cold engine or hot engine. Go to shift and engine revs stay up, not high enough to damage anything but not right. It will return slowly by itself so doesn't remain stuck open.
Checked to make sure it wasn't something very simple like gas pedal hanging up on the carpet or the pedal was sticking at the small shaft it pivots on. Everything okay there. Checked all the throttle linkage and nothing sticking there, spring on throttle shaft not sticking, and return spring connected and still "springs" okay. Linkage is relatively stiff but always has been. Checked the carbs, cleaned up the pistons, checked oil level in damper assembly. Even ordered new springs for the pistons/chamber assemblies but those are not in yet as just ordered. Hoping, that might be it but any ideas ???
Thanks,
