BBTB Stickin... again...

[labmixz]

So, the car has sat awhile... bout three weeks now finally got it back up and running and the throttle is sticking. I had this problem awhile back with a previous TigerLilly BBTB, it stuck awful, around 2k-3k range, so I switched to stock for awhile and the problem went away...

So now I've got another TigerLilly BBTB, it's worked fine up until now, where it's sticking at 2k-3k and will just sit there for about a minute then back off...

I tried white lithium grease... didn't work...

Anyone have any idea's?

Anyone have this prioblem with their TigerLilly ?

I have a system upgrade 63 BBTB and that have happened to me also. (the weather in here is hot). I really have not a clue why it happens but I solved with a marine wheel bearing grease. Lithium grease tend to turn super sticky when time pass by so, If I were you I discontinued the use of LT Grease.

1. Clean the spring with a good carnauba degreaser.
2. Apply a gentle amount of grease with your fingers until evenly spread.
3. Move back and forth the throtle body pulley to ensure all parts are covered.

I bash so much?

I bashed it because it came to me in peices...

Then Brad refused to get a new one out to me...

so I re-threaded the end and used it... until the spring came off completly... I didn't bash the product as much as I bashed the crap a$$ customer service Bradely gives...

I was also suppose to have "a $150 credit" for my problems... and never saw that...

I'll have to try this, where can I get the marine grease ??

I've noticed that the LT grease got rather stickey, I always wondered if that could be the problem...

Thanks for your help...

Ah, I remember you saying it was a cheap *** imitation or something of the sort, that's why ;)

that still doesn't make sense to me since it works fine on his buddy's stock I4!!!

I don't know in exactly but you can try looking in advance, pepboys or other car supply store. They have a small section with some outboard/ marine stuff like gear oil, marine engine oil, lubes, etc. It's marine wheel bearing grease the one you'll need.
