<VV> Sticking Throttle

[Doug Mackintosh]

Jeff, don't get me confused with "the experts" but one of those simple things you should check is to be sure the ignition wires are not interfering. I have had that happen. It can be intermittant if the wind in the engine compartment moves a wire a bit.

Jeff Aronson asked:

<<I'm turning to the experts here for advice on a sticking accelerator 
pedal problem.
A couple of months ago, I had to remove the throttle shaft that connects 
the two carbs to the accelerator in order to rethread the #4 spark plug 
hole. I installed it back and since then have experienced an increasing 
problem with the accelerator not returning to its fully closed position. 
It can stick almost all the way down, or it can stick only a short 
distance open. It can be pulled back with my foot, or oddly, if I punch 
it quickly with my foot, it will retract fully back on its own.>>
