Dissconnect it from the Carb linkage and make sure the cable and joints up front are free and move nicely...
If that is all right, you might have a linkage geometry problem. Rich |

All throttle return springs are located in the engine comp. Do like Rich says, disconnect the cable from the linkage and see if the pedal is still stiff. If it is, then the problem is likely either the cable or the pedal bushings.
Another problem that sometimes occurs when replacing a cable is that the throttle cable gets wrapped around the clutch cable in the front of the tunnel. This can cause a stiff pedal as well as the engine revving when the clutch is depressed. |

[/quote] The tube terminates ahead of the shifter - but it doesn't get wrapped around the shifter, the throttle cable gets wrapped around the clutch cable. When you thread through a new accel cable, it naturally wants to wrap itself around the clutch cable - so you need to get a mirror and look in the end of the tunnel to make sure the cables are free of one another before hooking them up.

If your OE cable housing is broken at the firewall.. the pedal becomes REAL stiff. The OE housings have a white plastic sheeth in them that holds the cable. They tend to break when you try and make tight turns with it. I use Terrycable. No inside sheeth and better wound cable (aircraft quality).
