It's a right bastard swine job to do and get right because you have to
adjust the balancer in the cable (at the split) so that it pulls both
chokes the same distance. That's presuming you can get at the wretched
thing. I had the exact same problem on my RD04 and left my mechanic to
do it. Now it's silky smooth and the engine runs great.
