I really thought I was going need a Priest today to perform an exorcism on my FGB. I left work for lunch cracked the throttle in second gear and it stuck at about 4 thousand rpm. I pulled in the clutch and turned off the key. I checked the throttle several times after re-starting and it was fine. When I got home tonight I found the problem, the front K&N filter had come loose from the throttle body and apparently hung the cable mechanism. Make sure you push down hard on the filters and look all the way around the throttle bodies for a good seal when you tighten those guys up. Now the neutral light has decided to become intermittent after getting back from a test drive. That will wait until tomorrow. Maybe a good Southern Baptist Preacher will be all I need for that little gremlin.
