Default people with fast 90 mm throtle bodies please enter

just got my fast 90mm set up on and the only kink is that the throtle body seems to stick a little open. i have adjusted the throtle cable. that is all okay, but you can feel how it seems to stick a little bit open. would knife edging the throtle blade help any? or is this something that will just work its way out eventually? anyone else have this problem with the fast 90mm throtle body?

Remove the throttle blade, and twist the shaft back to place the spring in more bind. This will allow more pressure to shut the blad when not under acceleration.

I put an extra throttle return spring from the little pin that sticks out to a hole in the radiator shroud. Seems to work for me
