Known issues on the 1992 FT900. One recall is on federal record for this truck, and it concerns throttle return springs that can fracture because of the vibration inherent in these engines. No owner complaints are logged with NHTSA. Since a broken throttle return spring is a speed control problem rooted in the engine and its linkage, the sections that matter most here are the ones covering the 7.8L inline-six, its governor and throttle linkage, and the adjustments and torque values that go with them.
AS A RESULT OF INHERENT VIBRATION IN THESE ENGINES, THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS CAN FRACTURE.
