Engine drop surprise- bad throttle bushings
 

I had never heard of this but I sure was surprised to see how much slop is in the linkage when the plastic bushings are shot on an SC's linkage arm that's bolted on the cowling. It appears an easy loss of 20% travel- bolting the engine back in soon after the powdercoating comes back and I'll know for sure. Anybody know the real loss numbers for the throttle when these are shot?
