<VV> Stuck accellerator

[Chris C, Warwick RI]

I took it out.  Crud around it from when I de-rusted the floor.
So stiff that I could hardly move it.
Light sanding on shaft and plastic cup to remove the junk.  Soaked the 
entire shooting match in WD-40.
Now it spins freely.
Cleaned and painted the area under the peddle.  I suspect it will work well 
when its re-assembled.

Thanks to all.
