Bob Zetnick Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Took out my '24 today and after 30 min of driving the engine started revving high.I backed off the throttle and gas pedal, but nothing...drove into a parking lot and after a few backfires shut off the engine. There is only one gas pedal return spring and assume that's the only spring...didn't see one at the throttle section of linkage. I may have a fatigued spring or some replacement that just doesn't do the job correctly. I wondered if anyone had the same problem and if they greased the linkage.....hate to attract dirt there, but is this something that's done?

Spinneyhill Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Oil is a wetting agent and will "attract" dirt. Grease, generally, is not and may get a layer of dirt on the outside but generally will remain fairly clean. I grease mine. There are wee ball joints in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
