    Too Much of a Gap?

    Seem like there is too much of a gap on the throttle. Normal?

    My throttle-side gap is pretty much like yours, maybe slightly less.

    Mine has that much gap. I was going to put one large or 2 thin o- rings to fill the gap. I haven't done that yet.

    Gents,

    Loosen end caps and remove, you can see that they only fit in one way so they can not spin. Try this.
