I find my current throttle (A-800 or similar number) from AS not easy to adjust and I wonder if you have found any improvements with the mcfarlane throttle.

I had nothing but trouble with the friction lock style. The 912 carb springs are so strong that once you set the friction lock the instrument panel is so thin, on the 701, that it gives enough to raise the rpm about 300 when you let go. I changed to the veneer type, fine adjustment when you need it and full throttle is just a button push away.

I have tried a bunch of throttle setups and this is the first one I have found that keeps the carbs synched. I installed it and did a mechanical sync and checked it with the oil gauge and it was the closest I have ever gotten it, smoothest it's ever been and it's stayed that way...I didn't do any further adjustments. If I remember right, it was within about 2" of oil all the way thru the rpm range that I checked. I think that's hardly readable in mercury. JG knows what it equates to, I believe.
