Throttle

[mtbinscotland]

There is likely a simple fix for this but not sure myself.... My throttle does not hold itself in position so when I lift my hand off the throttle, it kicks back to almost the neutral position.  Becomes a bit of a pain when I can only use my left hand for signalling the skier.  Any ideas how I can 'tighten' it a bit so that I do not have to keep my hand on throttle at all times?
Thanks, in advance.

I have the same operation with mine. I think they were designed like that?

I'm curious to see what the veteran owners say, but one (expensive) thing you can do is add a Perfect Pass system. Once you ride behind a boat with Perfect Pass it's tough to go back.

Typical throttle return spring located on the Carb. will not pull the throttle back quickly but will slowly drift back, you may want to see what you have for a return spring on there. Back in the day tournament drivers would remove the spring or stretch it a bit, but that was in the 70's & 80's when we didn;'t have to be politically correct, environmentally correct, and have our heads turned around backwards watching for lawyers. My official response is you need an appropriate return spring on there.

Ron. Right, as long as I know it was supposed to be like this, I am happy with it...and I'll keep my eye out for those lawyers!
Friends' MC and SN throttles seem to stick in place.  Perhaps they have tweaked theres'.
Cheers.
