Thank you. That's what mine looks like and I got a confirmation from Roger Sharkey that it is a friction adjustment. Question is which way does it turn to loosen. I assume it is in the direction of the top towards you when standing outside or same direction as throttle increase? Roger told me to put a strap wrench on it and free it up. I think the previous owner just left it where it was when he go it and got use to it. The current feeling on the throttle is when applying force to the throttle it all of a sudden breaks and turns a little bit more than you would want. No way could anyone get precise throttle position as it is. I think that is why I am constantly fighting too much or too little adjustment when raising or lowering collective. Hopefully I can loosen it up a bit and still be able to tighten it if I wish.
