Hi Paul-

Got the entire intake side mounted today -- look *great*.

Problem:  The slide throttle doesn't slide when the bolts are torqued
down.  This is the same behavior I saw when we first got the slide
throttle from you; it wouldn't slide then either until I loosened the
bolts holding it together.  My hypothesis is that the Teflon insert is a
bit too thick for the spacer.  I suppose I could try to take some
thickness off the Teflon. Or, I could fab a gasket of some type to
increase the thickness of the spacer.

Thoughts?

Did you put the gaskets in there? I sent some proper gasket
material. You may have thought it was packing material.
They needed to be cut out of the enclosed material.
One on each side of the spacer.
