Had a terrifying event with sticking throttle linkage today- the stupid thing hung in the torsion spring for the trunk! I was driving hard, let off gas and slammed the clutch to shift when - rrrsssssss- 7K rpm before I got shut off! Well..... no carnage. no hideous noises. Straghtened out the linkage problem. No apparent ill effects. Are the valves gonna pop apart next week? I have not found one yet, but wonder if there is a rev limiting rotor available for a mallory dizzy? Should I expect horrible things to happen soon? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |
