ZDZ 80 throttle problems
Hi Mike,
In threads in other forums, which you might have been following, it has become obvious that there is a serious "interface" issue with the ZDZ80. As you know, it is necessary to grind off the stock arms before putting on the ball link. The problem comes after the stock arms are taken off, the throttle stop is gone, and if you didn't check before removing the arms, it is very hard to tell which way the throttle should open/close. If you are experienced with gas engines you probably can figure it out, but if you aren't, which is probably a large percentage of your users, then it's a 50/50 chance that the throttle will be installed backwards resulting in a very big problem for the user to figure out.
What I'd like to suggest is that you post a tech note on your Web site explaining the issue and hopefully avoiding some of the frustrated customers, that from these threads, are obviously out there.
Thanks.
