Dan, The Aerocarb has an aluminum slide that is Teflon coated. The slide rides on Delrin gaskets. That makes it as slick as owl shit (that is a southern saying for those who have never heard it). Therefor if you leave the friction lock loose, the suction along with the vibration of the engine will cause the slide to close on the Aerocarb. Mine would do it also but very slowly. You do not have to completely lock down the cable but apply enough friction that you can move it yet it will not move on it's own. You should be ok and you will get used to the friction lock very quickly. It eventually will become second nature to you.
