After installing new bushings in the pedal cluster the engine idles too high. Reason is that the throttle body return spring seems a bit too weak to fully close the intake on my 1971/4. (The pedal moves freely, but now with a bit more friction due to less play and some grease.)
A Little push with the finger and idle is okay. Is there any possibility to add a second spring like on the later cars? Or should I just install a heavier spring to solve this issue? Any comments on this will be appreciated. Greetings, Arno |

Hello all,
thank you for your replies. I checked the cable, no collision with the clutch cable. The mounts inside the tunnel are good (picture). I suppose it is the pedal, together with the cable beeing a bit too tight after fitment of the new bushings (the gas pedal bushings where all gone). I will reajust the cable end at the throttle body to give it some free play and recheck. Arno (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/up.picr.de-24260-1618472645.1.jpg) |
