Default Re: accelerator linkage

Thanx for the tips everyone. Got it off & found there was about 1/4" rotation play in the shaft from the pedal side to the carb. side. Someone has repaired the joint with a pop rived and it was too soft to hold the shaft to the outer cast bracket assembly & there was also a nasty bend in the shaft on the pedal side, just had to straighten it, drill it out & peen a new pin it it, should give me full movement & a more positive idle stop. Should have replaced the return spring but didn't think of it until I had reassembled it. It's hell to get old, forget too quickly now!!
