I was the lucky one who bought the Viper green '76 914. Great car. They put in a new accelerator cable before I got it. The pedal pushes real stiff and jerky not smooth at all. Takes most of the fun out of driving. What would you suggest looking at first?
Thanks, Roger |

If the cable was stiff before and a replacement is still stiff, probably in the pedal cluster as others have said. You can try some penetrating oil on the cluster pivot point.
Can also disconnect the cable at both ends. Does it move freely? Does the little arm at the pedal cluster move freely? Does the throttle body arm move freely? Quick and easy checks to discover the culprit. Very nice score! I remember that 914 locally, it's very nice. |
