A non-closing throttle would be the least of its worries. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets and Ducati Race Engineer.

Wotcha. Not as far as I can see from this :---> http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual/mc_contents.htm To quote <<A throttle friction device will not constitute a reason for rejection unless it adversely affects the throttle operation.>> http://www.motuk.co.uk/mcmanual_630.htm <-- on that page .
Just a quick caveat, that is a throttle designed to self close should self close. If it's the Enfield it's a failure, if it's some strange Thruxton Flagellator from 1912 with a signal box lever as a means of controlling the vapours then probably not.
