This is very common, just increase the friction by tightening the bolt at the base of the throttle lever on the dash just a bit, you will notice after you do that the hand pressure required to move the throttle, will increase slightly.
You just need a little more tightness as no need to over do it to a point the throttle is difficult to move.
Clear as mud?

George's one finger typing beat me this morning.. The mud is very clear today
