Hi Joe,

I pulled the cap and investigated the throttle advance. The springs
definitely return the rotor to the non-advanced position. BUT, there is
a little bit a free play before the springs begin to provide any
resistance. Perhaps the hooks on the end of the springs are not tight
enough around the posts? Any other thoughts?

Hi Greg,
Certainly the flywheel is much heavier on your Ambo, but you
might want to check to see that the cent. advance mechanism is lubed up
& free to move. If your throttles are closing fine a hanging advance
will cause an engine to idle fast. Just pull the cap and give a twist to

the rotor to see if it springs back ok.

Hope this helps,

Having been on the Quota all summer, the first thing I noticed when I
took the Ambassador out for a ride was that it took much longer for the
engine to return to idle compared to the Quota. This is true either
while riding in gear or when blipping the throttle out of gear.

Is this completely normal and due to the weight of the flywheel keeping
things in motion? Alternatively, is it an indication of wear or that I
don't have things set up correctly?
