Hey guys, installed new carby. all good except for the accelerator mechanism

 

While my Throttle cable isnt connected, the mechanism which it connects to, on the side of the carby; works "fine" doesnt seem to feel real good, but still works, springs back to closed throttle and idles at approx 1k RPM

 

But when the throttle cable IS connected, it appears that it restricts the mechanism from fully closing. Is this a matter of replcing the springs which allow the mechanism to return to close the throat of the carby? Possibly missing a spring???

 

 

Thanks guys

Lube the cable- Hook the end up on the open bonnet and squirt some WD40 down it and then a shot of engine oil. Repeat every time you walk past it for a day or two. I did it to mine while organising the twin SUs and the throttle return spring I put on was so light you couldn't feel it in the pedal, but it worked fine.

 

Also lube the carb bits involved in the throttle plate rotation and springs.

 

Failing that go get twin side-draughts!

 

That's assuming you have checked the cable adjustment at the two clamp nuts and made sure there is enough slack in the cable to close the throttle properly!! It may just need the cable winding down on those adjusting nuts to solve the problem!

ahaha, ill try lubing it up hey, yeah it's as well adjusted as i can make it...i hope

 

Currently attatched amakeshift spring so the car can make it the 2minute drive to the tyre place to get some new tyres put on.

 

Twin side drafts would be good good; price tends to scare me off

 

thanks
