Default Re: Finally MOT on Thursday and TPS Adjustment

I then re-checked the TPS adjustment and this needed adjustment again.
Yes well it would wouldn't it? The balance screw adjusts the relative positions of the butterflies, the throttle stop is on the front cylinder and the TPS on the rear, if you change the balance the TPS position is changed in relation to the tickover stop.
