[FC] FC Accelerator and Speedometer Questions

[Ken Hand]

 One thing you need to check is the return spring arrangement, if you have a 62-3 you need to have a very large one up front and a very small one in the rear on the throttle shaft. For the front spring there is a spot on the under body by the bumper where there is a place to hook a spring and the other end goes on the U part of the accelerator bellcrank.

I have done this on several FC's and the accelerator sticking is gone.

Hello fellow FC'er's;

I have a couple of annoying gremlins that have popped up with my Rampside:

1) My accelerator has started sticking pretty much every time I drive the truck.  
If I tap it, it comes back down.  
    I have tried oiling all of the connections/pivot points.  Could it be that 
the outer cable sheath is moving?

2) My speedometer cable is not turning.  I do have a spare cable, but I thought 
I would consult the experts before installing it.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
