Wouldn't short cut a "real" ITB manufacturer. These damn things are hard enough to set up without having to deal with "knock-offs".

OBX have a copy of most of the Jenvey set ups and they get you with the price but know this Jenvey buy in the copy's and test them .I also jet them and try them out then smash the with a hammer after the test they use a cheap alloy to make the and they expand and stick also the TPS is the next problem they have .you only get what you pay for

Let's try this again. OBX seems to have a knock off of most of Jenvey's Products. They attract you with their pricing; however they have sub-standard quality. Jenvey in fact buys and tests OBX knock off parts and the end results are always the same. They perform less that expected for something that appears to look halfway decent. the cheap alloys they use changes shape and causes the Butterfly to stick. they also have a problem with their TPS.

Wasn't trying to be an *******, as I thought that what you were inferring to. The grammar made me suspicious, that's all.

I wonder if there's any way to work around the sticking issue? Heavier duty springs?

yes you can but it will cost a lot of time and money .They do fit well but they just stick a lot and this will drive you mad on the street

I wonder if a hard coat anodize and some good bearings would solve the sticking issues.
