I tired this and I also looked into the throttle throat when I manipulate the throttle. Since the shaft moves in and out (ie in a parallel direction as the shaft) the butterfly valve catches on side of the throttle body intake. I don't see any wear marks in the thottle body, except wear the valve has been hitting the side. If you push the shaft to the right (when looking at the engine from the rear) it will fully close. I was thinking since the spring puts some bias to "pull it out" of the throttle body this is why it's inconsistinent. Is there something to tighten to keep the shaft from pulling out? What keeps the thottle valve shaft in the right location in the throttle body? Craig !----------------------------! ! Craig Woolston ! ! '70 Sqback, FI, AT->MT ! !
