Move freely and return to idle when released.

Start playing free

  1. Move freely and return to idle ✔
  2. Stay partly open
  3. Touch the brake lever

Why: A sticking throttle can keep driving the track. Test it before starting and confirm that it snaps closed.

Huh, didn't know that: The seasonal inspection also checks free throttle movement.
