I suffered the same for ages, until I finally got round to removing all the throttle linkage parts and cleaning, painting & greasing.
The bit that was pretty crappy was where it changes 90 degrees and connects to the manifold.
There is a plastic doughnut like washer/bearing that was gummed up with old grease and muck.
Don’t know if that alone was the main problem, but it doesn’t do it anymore.
Also check the smooth operation of the main throttle butterfly shaft between the carbs, I found mine was binding a tad!
Thanks Toopy, much improved after a clean up. Only occasional blipping needed on my outing yesterday. Everything else looks good, pistons fall with a nice clunk, seems to be the rear carb not always returning. Thanks, will check out the butterfly valve and post up findings.
£20. Although I didn't have any cash at the time so he didn't get paid I'll pay him for both when he puts it back in. Putting it back will be harder so more I'm sure!
Thanks Jon, good luck with the install.
Great day yesterday. Met up with Jake and Chris, went for a spot of lunch, some lovely country side and roads. Same feeling as most times, journeys in the Z end too quickly!..
