I've done a number of upgrades and maintenance over the past week and now my throttle is really sticking - but it does not appear to be the cable. The throttle/revs stay real high and if I blip the gas pedal it subsides. It acts as is the throttle cable is sticking? Maybe it is, but I put in an oil pressure gauge and was wondering if I disconnected a vacuum hose, or reconnected them incorrectly when I was installing the pressure sender? Any ideas? I also just installed a clutch cable and thought it way be catching on the clutch cab, but it apperas to be clear? The easy fix would be installing the new accelerator cable (which I just purchased).

I also had the same problem. I completely disasembled my TB. The main problem is that the steel throttle shaft is riding on the aluminum TB and will eventually get out-of-round.
Eventually I will take it to a machinist and have some brass (or bronze) bushings installed. But a really good cleaning and some good lithum grease has solved my problems for now. Dan |
