I traced the problem to the operating levers themselves. The butterfly spindle is mangled where the levers locate and despite the nut being reasonably tight there was movement between the two of them - it was possible to force the operating lever relative to the spindle on full throttle.
It will need a new spindle but for now I've tightened it as much as I dare. A rebuild job for next winter I think.
