Default FAST 90 TB Question...

I recently picked up FAST 90mm TB, got a good deal on it...

I have no clue about this, sorry if its a super repost lol.

I was told to ask if theres something I should do, to make sure it doesn't stick? Nobody seems to know, but I've had multiple people tell me I'm supposed to do "something". Some say I've gotta keep something lubed, some say I've gotta adjust, some say I've gotta machine something down.....and personally I don't know...

Or am I just getting fed a buncha BS?

I think there is a problem with the throttle cable not opening at 100%, from what I heard here...plp go with Nick williams instead, but I'm sure its as good..

If the idle screw is adjusted all the way out then yes it will stick. Just turn it in until it doesn't stick anymore. I have had mine on for over a month now with no problems and FWIW mine opens 100%

I've seen people attach a little spring from the tab for cruise control to the radiator support, which will help the blade close when you let off the throttle.

I didn't have to do anything to mine, but adjust the throttle screw.
