My symptoms never came and went though. When mine stuck it stock wide open until I removed the RHS power valve. When I went to crack the lock nut on the actuator arm the valve returned to normal. I unclipped the arm and ran the valve between its stops. Fine smooth action hooked it up and it stuck at wide open again. It wasn't until I removed the stops and ran the actuator plate through its full motion in forward and reverse that I noticed some minor binding on reverse. It wouldn't happen at the same time or the place. Ended up being some carbon deposits.

I would say that I would have lost 80% power easily. Scared the shit out of me as I'd just been making jetting changes before it happened. It honestly felt and sounded like the rings had fallen off the piston. Would not idle well either.
so what ditd you do to repair it, just clean?
