I have fitted a new throttle cable and it is routed correctly, however it is still sticking... Any suggestions? If it is the pedal bush, how easy are they to fit?? Are there any fitting guides out there?

Do you have the original gas pedal? A lot of them get real floppy at the hinge area and cause the pedal to rub.

Need a little more detail.

Sticking at full throttle, hanging up and not returning to the closed position, etc.

How do you get it back into the correct position.
With the throttle pedal or by hand at the throttle body?

Are you sure it's not fouled up with the clutch cable just inside the front of the tunnel ? Easy to do.

Disconnect the cable at the throttle body, hlld the cable and have someone push the gas pedal, see where it's binding. Could be the pedal, the cable, or the TB. Disconnect them and you should be able to see which.

I replaced a clutch cable and it got wrapped around a brake line. Check the tunnel. Make sure its not tangled up.

It's been known to happen, even that way. Double-check.

Disconnect each end of the cable so you can find what exactly is sticking. The pedal, the cable itself, the throttle plate, or ???

Yep! Sounds like it's getting caught on the clutch cable. All of us have done it (some of us... um, me, more than once!). A small round mirror (like for a dentist) on a hinge works wonders for seeing what you've done. HF has 'em for pennies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I had a similar problem when I first installed carbs. New cable, not tangling with clutch cable, and it would still bind and not let the carbs close. I tried extra springs to pull the cable towards the engine bay, but it made it worse.

Then I removed all extra springs using only the ones on the carbs, and the cable moved smotth as silk.

If you put too much tension on the cable, it will bind.
