Throttle Sync question <sticky throttle-why?>

[SoxFan]

I am having a blast in my first year with my 212ss. Great trailer boat to Cape Cod, local lakes, and just came back from a week in Lake George NY.
Have noticed lately my port throttle is very sticky compared with the starboard throttle which is very smooth. This makes it tough to keep them paired evenly. I tried WD40 on the cable under the hatch with no better results.
Would anyone have advise if a Throttle Sync devise would help?

Throttle sync won't fix a stick throttle lever as it is only a plastic fitting over the top of both handles.

Just realized I put this posting under the wrong forum (rookie mistake) - should have gone under General Discussions.
Hope to get advise here

I'm not sure why one throttle would be sticky. Are you boating in salt water all the time? It is sticky in the bucket move of the throttles or during the acceleration part?

I modified your title to attract a little more attention to the real issue....

Only 25% salt water use- with very thorough cleaning after each use. The sticky throttle is in both initial bucket move as well as upper speeds.
It feels like it could be inside the throttle housing

Possibly the friction screw is too tight. They are located on the back side of the throttle quadrant under a rubber cover.

I have the same issue and have only ever boated in fresh water. . . . . When trying to sync up the throttles the port lever "sticks". Planning on completing the throttle drop fix (https://jetboaters.net/threads/throttle-dropping-check-here.299/#post-2412) and inspecting all components when I pull her for the season.

Full disclosure, my stickiness is only after the bucket move when throttling up or down to sync the engines.
