    Do you have one of those throttle boxes or is it flush-mounted? I think there's a small screw on the front of the box that adjusts the tension.

    Man, you got me. I don't know anything about the flush-mounted ones. I've never had a problem with one. Maybe it's on the inside of the round thing, but I wouldn't know how to remove it.
