I agree with Ray on this one, when I bought my 73B it did the same thing.
Unfortunately, I had test driven it only at moderate speeds with the DPO in
the car (stupid, I know). I think his considerable bulk disguised the
problem, as I didn't notice the on/off thottle movement until I was almost
home. Turned out to have a broken leaf spring. New spring, no more wiggle
waggle. Hint: If you've got a broken one, replace both rear springs at once
to prevent lopsidedness. Hope this helps!
