You know,... I would just like to to stay where I put it. I guess the suction inside the venturi is so string that it is just pulling the slide shut. I have a friction lock throttle, but a little friction does not seem to help much. I am not familiar with throttles that have a mind of their own, this is going to take some getting used to...

Always better to land long than short. WOT gives you the chance to go around. Idle gives you no chance.

One specific instance where this comes in handy would be short final. Stuck wide open could be a bitch since you'd have to shut down and dead stick the landing. Again, I have absolutely no experience with aircraft carbs but have lost more than a few automotive engines when the throttle return spring has let go. Doug Rupert Be glad you do not have my carb; I have to ADD a spring to counter the throttle return spring so that mine will stay put where I open it to or it will behave like it does in the car and return to idle whenever I am not holding the throttle! LOL I will also add some friction at the throttle quadrant for holding it in one place, but allowing for adjustments... Colin Rainey -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
