I checked the throttle cable and I can see it is not wrapped.
All the linkage seems fine, and I have the idle screws all the way out. I am even running an extra spring on the throttle bar to ensure that I get full return. Nothing seems to be binding. I am running an old original distributor with the injection point set removed, and the vacum advance disabled. Am I wasting time chasing throttle cable functions or is it just the stinking distributor? |

Pull the rod out of the back of the pedal.
Does the pedal stand up on its own? Like Viagra? If not, the spring in the bottom may be junk.. It's just a piece of spring steel that is the same piece that get bolted to the floor. It's also part of the spring back system... that was a long time ago for me....ten or more years ago that I chased that weird one down....so YMMV |
