[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16189040, member: 14133"] This was EXACTLY my experience with mine. All I did to correct this was to change my dashpot settings, but changing the entire rpm range by the same multiplier did NOT work. That's because at lower rpm's, failsafe does not occur. It occurs only at mid to high rpm's. Also, depending on if you failsafe when decelerating and/or free revving at a standstill, there is another setting that needs to be changed. It's called "Dashpot Min mph". Once I fine tuned my dashpot to prevent failsafe when shifting, I still experienced it when just free revving. Changing the Dashpot Min mph solved this. But I consider changing the dashpot settings as a WORKAROUND. It really does nothing to solve the problem of a slow closing throttle blade, it just prevents failsafe. Honestly, I believe the problem is mechanical. Like I just mentioned above, it's a slow closing throttle blade. I even tried clocking the spring tighter with hopes that it would help snap the blade back quicker, but this did not work. --------------------- If you guys tune yourself, message me and I'll give you my dashpot settings to try. If you don't, then ask your tuner if your file uses stock dashpot settings. I would venture to guess that it does. But by asking, you will know conclusively if my workaround may help. Willie [/QUOTE]
