adjusted correctly but I have not yet had the opportunity of determining if this is an improvement.
The throttle control setting on the other cars is normal & do not propose making any alteration in adj. from the present standard practice.
The trouble seems due to the throttle not shutting sharply & firmly on releasing the accelerator.
