Default AquaCraft AirForce throttle cable

Has anyone had an issue with the throttle cable not wanting to return the throttle to the idle position? If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks,
David

Is this a new boat? Or has it got some use out of it?
Does it move to full throttle? Or is the travel limited?

Without seeing a pic, I'm just speculating here.

1) There may be binding in the cable somewhere.
2) There may be debris within the cable. Dust, dirt, sand, etc.

Thank you for the reply. It is a brand new boat. It moves to full throttle and has a full range of motion. If you disconnect the cable at each end it seems to slide easily in the tube. Just wonder if it may be a servo issue?

EPA. (end point adjustments) If the radio does not have epa, then a mechanical linkage change will have to be made.
