Throttle handlI've finally found a good use for the Zenith
Yes , I use the original Zenith T-throttle in my 701 with a simple
modification and have found it very good (over 170 hours now). The fix is to
install a counter balance spring behind the panel which unloads the spring
force from the carb's. With proper adjustment the throttle will not creep
and requires very little clamp force on the nylon friction block. One end of
the spring is anchored to a small bracket using the same rivets that hold
the nylon bearing in the panel. The other end attaches to the throttle rod
with a small C-clamp that compresses a short piece of rubber fuel line
(split) and is adjusted to load the installed spring so the throttle does
not require any force to hold position. It's simple, it's cheap (Lowes has
the springs) and if it breaks the worst that can happen is the throttle
creeps to full power. This design avoids the Croke effect also.
