[C320-list] Value of this forum

[Jon Vez]

Bill,

There is a set screw that adjusts the tightness of the throttle. Once you
adjust to your liking, use some non-permanent locktite to keep it there. If
you haven't removed your compass before, make sure you mark it with tape so
that you can realign it correctly when reassembling...

Regards,

I agree too.  My throttle problem is a little different.  Above 2,000 RPM's,
the throttle will fall back to a lower speed. To cruise at 2,500 RPM's or
above, I have to tie the throttle to the vertical post of the NavPod with a
small rope.  I am thinking that if I take the compass off the housing, there
must be a nut to tighten to keep this from happening.
