Sanwa m17 live data twitching
 
On my new sanwa m17 the live data of the throttle just rapidly between 0% and -2%. Actually got lucky and when i snapped this pic you can see it changing. Any thoughts? Should i send in? Is this normal, should i adjust the screws for what this has? Thanks all. Also i guess i don’t have enough posts to post pic

If it's new then I'd be returning it. That's a sign of a dirty or worn out potentiometer.

Okay noted on that. I thought i’d try doing tension screws first to see if it was just off a little. Ill take it apart and see. Then go from there.

If it's brand new, send it back. If it's new to you, you can sometimes blow the trigger area out with compressed air or try to spray it out with electronics cleaner. Then I'd recalibrate it and see if it's still jumpy.
