Aptly said Ross and, as always, Howard has provided excellent info on this. When going through the linkage network, all the way over to the carb, there are a lot of places where a well aimed shot of oil can really help to free up and lubricate the whole movement. On the rubber through-firewall grommet, I used some dish soap so as not to (further) degrade the rubber with oil, and that really seemed to help as well. I sprung for a new accelerator pedal too, as mine was terribly worn and I went from very poor pedal movement, to a nice, smooth and stick-free motion. Chris
