[C320-list] Throttle Lever Slipping

[Chris Burti]

The easiest fix as far as access is to adjust the
friction clamp located on the cable in the general
vicinity of the transmission. It is fussy, imprecise
and a trial and error process. 

I understand that the preferred fix is the adjuster
under the compass, which can be a bit of a PITA to get
to.
