I removed the springs that hold the throttle closed. I am going to put

a

spring on that holds the throttle open so that if I have a failure of
the throttle cable, the engine will not shut down.

Perhaps the better option would be for the throttle to stay where it was
last set (some drag on it's rotation) or, springs that would hold it at
some intermediate/low power setting- just enough to keep flying.  Then
disabling leading ignition (or something) might make  descending and
landing a more manageable situation.

Just a thought.  Al

Using Tracy's EFI/Ignition controller, you should be able to control engine
rpms with mixture.  Unless I'm missing something, this should make things
less exciting.
