Mark- I can not say I have had your problem, but While I was working on (?) I 
had the air box out, and while looking around that area I noticed that there 
were some screws loose on one of the throttle brackets and the Cir clip which 
held the linkage together was laying on the flat spot of the housing. I 
tightened the screws and reinstalled the cir clip, and have not noticed any 
loosening or cir clip falling off since. Its worth a check, and its only a 15 
min job. HTH
