I am having a problem with the main throttle lever. When I move the lever forward to the WOT position and then want to come back to neutral, the two teeth that enguage the transmission cable linkage come out of their slots. I then have to open up the command center, remove the main lever, place the teeth in their positions, and assemble everything together again. After I have placed everything together, greased up the cables, and lubricated everything inside I try it out again. It works fine for a couple of times but then it goes out of sync again. :facepalm:
I am thinking I have to replace either cables or the entire command center. Have any of you guys had the same problem? Do you guys have any idea what it could be? The transmission lever in the engine is really smooth and easy to move, as well as the throttle linkages and levers at the engine.
