Also: In most pictures of the throttle [like in that one, not mine], the three tabs on the pot are facing upward, away from the slider. (Which seems to be the correct way how a pot is manufactured). In my case, these three tabs were bent (or assembled to the part) the wrong way, facing down (!) with the tabs and then the wires awfully close to the slider. Of course this could spell troubles since the slider would constantly touch the wires and this can cause all kinds of problems of course.

The script from reddit doesn't work properly, it moves the slider on its own +1/-1 at the end, depending on direction...so it just replaces the jitter with some other annoyance. That being said, I opened my pot up and there is lots of "black gunk" which I have reason to believe is graphite lube or something else which is supposed to be there. I cannot see how cleaning the pot with alcohol can make things better. It might make things worse, MUCH worse if the black gunk inside the pot is supposed to be there! (I guess only CH Pro can answer in regards to the black stuff inside the pot) I don't think the gunk *inside* the pot is from the vaseline where there is some outside the pot for lubricating the axis. There is just way too much inside for it being some lube accidentally having gotten inside. Also the black colour makes me guess this is graphite based or similar.
