2305 Throttle Issue

[JDforMe]

I've had a recent issue with the throttle not holding it's position - it just quickly rotates back to an idle.

I'm assuming with the cold weather here in the northeast, there is some plastic washer or other gizmo that has contracted and loosened up the mechanism that maintains throttle position.. After a quick look under the hood, it appears I'm going to be taking the dashboard off or one of the side panels.

Just thougth I'd ask if anyone else has had the same issue and, if so, any suggestions so this doesn't become a trial and error sort of fix?

The bungee cord i had to rig when moving snow with the loader the other day, while effective, just isn't what I had in mind as an added "accessory".

Thanks!

Sounds like this is a somewhat common problem. Mine started the other day loosing throttle, so took off the cover that houses parkbrake, etc. Simple fix of retightening the 2 nuts on the throttle assembly there. Somehow it just finds a way to work loose
