| I just installed an accelerator guide tube/bowden tube on my '65 T1 with a stranded, new cable.

I am wondering if perhaps the return spring on the carb needs to be stronger with the bowden creating some additional tension? |
Did you grease up the entire cable?
Have you taken apart the accelerator pedal linkage for a greasing and/or replacing parts?
Have you been oiling up the throttle shaft now and then, especially when you have pulled the dip stick out?
Stock return spring should work fine unless it has been damaged.
Do you maybe have the cable adjusted too tight? You really do not need 100% throttle action, unless you are drag racing.
Which type of the springs are you using? On the carb or on the cable? Might help to post images to see if there is something visibly wrong. |
The cable received a layer of greasing during install. The tube through fan shroud has been given some silicone squirts. The pedal assemble was rebuilt and lubed.
Cable adjusted too tight?? That I will check.
The spring is on the carb and appears original with the Solex.
I will do some more checks and posts some images.
Thank you.
