So sorry i have a 1968 dream that was working ok, it had some slack in it being that i had to twist it about a 1/4 turn before it gassed up.

now it takes a lot of muscle to twist the throttle?

tks,lou

But not much effort while off. Weird. The throttle is supposed to have a little bit of play. Maybe try playing with that adjustment and see where it gets you.
