Qjet Question

Had this problem approx. 30 years ago. What happens is that when you shut the secondary throttle at high vacuum the pressure across the throttle blades holds them in place when you try to open them again especially if the bores are a little oxidized and the actuating lever is NOT PINNED TO THE SHAFT. The fix is to pin the throttle shaft to the actuating lever; do not rely on the torsion spring to open the throttle. A $.10 rollpin is most common fix.
