## Discrepancy

WHEN THE PILOT ADVANCED THE THROTTLE DURING TAKEOFF, IT BECAME STUCK MID TRAVEL.  RETARDED THE TROTTLE AND REAPPLIED POWER.  THIS TIME THE THROTTLE ADVANCED NORMALLY.  DURING RETURN TO BASE, MAINTENANCE WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE INTERMITTENT BINDING OF THE CARBURETOR, PREVENTING FULL POWER FROM BEING APPLIED.  THE CARBURETOR WAS REPLACED WITH NO OTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
