you have two dashpots...and all they do is give more luxuries and less snappy feel when getting off the throttle by letting the plates slowly close



at least im pretty sure thats what they do

yeah I vote for removal, they like to get sticky causing throttle to bind up on return, making it sometimes not return to idle properly when you let off the gas slowly.

The only time they helped was when I had the AC on and i let off the throttle abruptly, the engine would not stall out.
