• Slow or imprecise throttle response with free play at the lever
• A rattle or knock from the linkage at idle
• The engine not returning cleanly to idle, or not reaching full fuel
• The joint feels notchy, stiff, or has visible side play when worked by hand
• On strip-down, a worn, dry or corroded ball with a split or missing dust boot

🛠️ Service Notes
