Line Up and Wait
Well just got the plane back from the mechanic. I took it up for an IFR lesson and when we landed and taxied back to the tie down, I pulled the throttle back and I could not get the RPMs below 1100. It was a little windy that day we assumed it was the wind causing it. My partner checked it out and the following week and found the same problem. So we called that mechanic and asked him to take a look at it. The mechanic called me today and gave me the report. It was all caused by a little white piece of plastic. It appears that a tie wrap that was holding a spark plug wire broke and fell in to the air intake and was carried to the carburetor. The tie wrap wedge between the throttle plate causing the high RPMs.
Well I guess its better to have the throttle stuck open rather then stuck closed.
