Subject:      Accel. cable changed, still sticky
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Well, I did it, managed to change the cable.  Was harder than I thought,
the connection to the rear linkage was all rusted and frayed.  My
accelerator still sticks however.  Seems to be a flat spot, in the
return spring actions or something at the almost open position.
Releases if i give her a slight kick.  A simple work-around, but not too
good in the ice or snow with an automatic.  And my throttle is used in
this position a lot, I have to pull away from three tolls each way to
work.

I went back and slicked up the linkage on the throttle valve with
graphite.  I am not sure if I have the spring hooked to the proper thing
or not.  Does it go to the hole on top, or the one that is on the swivel
that swivels on the shaft of the throttle valve.  Why are there two
places in the first place, are there supposed to be two springs?  The
Haynes manual I have is of little use, it is for UK's only and has very
little USA fuel system info.
