The disconnect I had came from the ball joint that goes through the throttle arm. The nut that held that ball on fell off. I believe it was never tightened after the carburetor was rebuilt during the annual inspection. I was only 15 miles from the airport, but at 2500 feet, that meant my glide wouldn't have made the airport by about 14.5 miles if the throttle would have gone to idle. I was glad that the certification process of my airplane included a spring to take the throttle to wide open.
