    This has been like this for as long as I can remember.The throttle response sucks. I could actually press the pedal to 100% and back fast with almost no throttle response. :eek3: Where do I start?

    check the throttle cable for wear and tear? or looseness.

    Does the same thing happen if you manually actuate the throttle at the intake instead of using the pedal and cable?
