I want to toss in that not having the full throttle switch function working
will not cause stumbling/ stalling / running rich or whatever the problem
is.
If all else is well, it'll still run fine up to just below full throttle.
It doesn't need that input to run right, in other words................ at
least a mid-throttle and around there.
