Thanks for the suggestions. I had never tried it without the stop. I had just removed the inner wire completely and all was good. One thing I did notice yesterday was that the 'tail' of the inner wire was very long and slightly bent. It looked as it could actually hit on the manifold and prevent the linkange from returning all the way. (Stupid oversight???) I snipped it off and went for a cruise this morning and all seemed OK. But I hate to assume anything. I will check the cable stop shortly. Thanks guys!
