Evening all

I am getting a sticky throttle on my 03, there was some give in the throttle cable which I have tightened but the stickiness from the throttle is still there. Anybody had this before, is there a way to losen or grease the butterfly? Its caused me to stall a couple of times I am having to blip just before I set off to catch the clutch

Thanks

 

Clean the edges of the butterfly.

Do not spray anything into the engine. Spray a rag, put it over your finger, and clean the edges. Also clean where the butterfly contacts the tb.

 

what would you suggest I clean with? WD40?

 

Um, throttle body cleaner.

WD40 is great for many things. But its not the product for cleaning a tb.

 

Hello, I'm wondering what's the best means of getting into contact with you to order the tensioner as well as asking a few questions.

 

Is your throttle body factory original or a modified bored out throttle body ? Modified throttle bodies can often be sticky like that, I've fixed those issues by raising the throttle stop screw a very tiny, tiny, tiny amount. Honda doesn't want people touching the throttle stop screw , but as a last resort it can be done if nothing else works after you try the cleaning fixes.

 

It looks standard to me, doesn't always stick just now and then ( and usually at the lights ) I was think of pulling in the throttle cable so it just off the rest point.
