Super-secure throttle linkage

The setscrew that secures the throttle arm to the slide carb can become loose if it isn’t fully tightened, and overtightening the setscrew can cause the low-end needle valve to bind. Apply a drop of liquid thread-lock on the setscrew and tighten until it is snug; do not overtighten it. The thread-lock will prevent the setscrew from loosening up.
