I bought a new connection rod from another 914 member. (Thanks Bruce)
I just got around to installing it and I think I might need some help. I bought it because my original would pop off the connection point. Not the back of the pedal, but the linkage. I installed the new one and am still having the same problem. My question is... is there something I'm missing? Is the throttle cable too tight? It the linkage worn? Any help is appreciated. Regards, Terry |

Look inside the ball socket and make sure the retaining ring moves and is not stuck. Use a pick and rust penetrant to free it up. I have a couple more sockets to sent to you. It should snap on and not be easily removed. Also check for missing alignment causes by bent accelerator bell cranks. Very common. Get
