I thought that's what a clone is ... badged with a different name....


Re the fast starting Citation ... I'll look at the belt, thanks for that info :-) ...

I thought it was a "sticky" pedal, with the spring too tight, and I oiled it where the hinges touch metal, but that helped only a little. The unit is clean.
It just takes too much force to push on the pedal and then it has too much give all of a sudden - or so it seems, and I don't know how to ease the tension of the spring < IF that is actually the cause....

How do you "adjust" the controller?
