Cracking the Throttle

Any small to medium sized hammer will do (rubber mallets usually don't produce the desired effect). Just aim for the middle section of the Throttle and give it a good whack. If done correctly a small crack should appear, splitting the Throttle lenghwise by at least an inch. Take a small can of petrol and slowly infuse the Throttle with ordinary petrol (JET-A1 would be too difficult to set alight). The only other required ingredient is a box of matches and voila - sit back and enjoy .........

The above process will also stop the pilot from idling - hence idle stop ......


Sorry, I haven't a clue - You might have guessed, I have not flown a 206 before. If I do I'll let you know!
