Subject: Adjusting stick tension

I have a new 9Z WC2. A friend with one adjusted my throttle stick tension to be very loose. I didn't notice any problems for about eight flights over two days. Then the throttle stick would lose control of the carb butterfly intermittently during flight. Oftentimes at that point the motor would make a relatively slow,
smooth, transition into full power and stay there. Slamming the sticks full travel a couple of times has gotten control of the carb back.

Is is possible that whatever the throttle stick connects to so as to
provide a signal to the servo is broken/loose/flaky now that it has been adjusted?

Would a carb that had no tension on the butterfly slowly open to full throttle naturally?

Is it time to send my 9Z in?<g>
