Currently having an issue with our throttle linkage getting bent. Have a feeling it has something to do with the decel and wondering if anyone has ever encountered this problem.

As I recall there is a spring cylinder that compresses as part of that linkage and it would get some notches worn into the rod which would get stuck. The hydraulic cylinder is controlled by pilot oil and has lots of power. Enough to bend up all the linkages when that spring cylinder doesn't move all the way.

You sir are a life savor. Would have never thought to look at that first, would have went straight to the decel cylinder. You were spot on, it is worn considerably and hanging up. Thanks much!
