I've got a dual helm twin engine setup with separate dual teleflex shifters and throttles and a glendinning engine synchronizer. My port throttle lever(s) are significantly stiffer to operate than the starboard throttle(s). My port throttle is connected through the synchronizer as it's the "slave" engine. After some troubleshooting....visual inspection, disconnecting linkages and lubricating cables, it appears that the extra friction/stiffness is due to the synchronizer itself. The synchronizer works fine; the stiffness I observe is obviously during normal throttle operation with the synchronizer "off".
My question is.....due to the extra connections/cable and the mechanical action of the synchronizer, is this normal?
I plan on contacting glendinning with my question, but am hoping for some feedback from those with a similar setup.
Thanks,
Brian
