Check the return spring. May need a shorter/stronger one. The only
other thing, depending on what carb you are talking about, is
alignment. If the cable runs crooked to the carb throttle lever, it
may be getting cockeyed and stuck.

The bottom line: Sure, there's pain in adopting the Mac. But if I accept
that, I get to use a computer that works, and that pretty much does
what I
expect and want a computer to do.
