<VV> Throttle Return Spring - 140 motor

[Airvair65 at aol.com]

I just went thru this. If the carb linkage is not binding,start at the  
engine ,disconnect the rod tha goes to the bell crank and hook the pull back  
spring to the cross rod. If the idle comes down , hook the rod up and start  
forward, taking each rod loose and noting the results. As was mentioned, the  
problem will probably be in the bell crank at the accelerator pedal. There are  
plastic bushings there that my be worn or they may need some lube. I used PB  
Blaster on mine. You may have to pull the carpet back to lube the pivot on the  
floor. The the nut holding the accelerator pedal to the bell crank may also be  
too tight. I had a combination of needing lube and an incorrectly installed  
pedal. Good Luck
