I just picked up a 1974 1.8 (carb conversion). It has been parked in an unheated garage for about 3 years, and was supposedly running fine before that, although it wont' fire up now.
My plan is to get it running, drive it on nice summer weekends, and use the other 9 months of the year to fix it up. Never worked on a car before, so looking forward to joining the fun! I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how... |

Got a good look at the pedal cluster in my attempt to diagnose the sticky throttle. Not sure I'm a huge fan of the 'bowl' design that captures all the random fluids, but maybe that's better than letting it all sit on the floor pan.

Hi, Re Photo of peddle cluster, Check clutch return spring it appears to be fitted backwards. It should pull peddle back onto rubber stopper. Needs to be removed from shaft and rotated and refitted to act in the correct direction. |
