So back from Africa after two years and am enjoying driving the 3.0 conversion, but one thing is bugging me. The throttle is very stiff at tip in making it very hard to drive smoothly. Its a standard six throttle arrangement with bell crank at the tranny then a rod to a bell crank at the CIS throttle. Cable was new three years ago / 5000 miles. No part of the throttle linkage system seems probematic. disconect cable from throttle pedal and it moves freely. The cable looks fine and all the individual bell cranks move smoothly. Any ideas?

I dispute the statement that "some suggestion is better than none", especially if the suggestion is less than helpful. Intertwined clutch and throttle cables cause the engine to speed up when the clutch is engaged, as if you'd fully depressed the accelerator pedal. There is really no other possible symptom. If I were to suggest he chase a wild goose, would that be better than remaining silent? The Cap'n
