Throttle Question
Discussion
Trying to sort out the slight hesitancy when running at very low revs (ie poodling along in first gear)....not that I go that slow very often...
One simple thing checked was for any slack in the linkage system. It seems that the first linkage moves a little before the second kicks in (as shown in the photo)but I am not sure if this is an issue or not. The bearing that slides in the linkage is metal and not worn, but it does seem a loose fit in the slot...
...Dear BBC am I paranoid, or is it a sign of something more sinister?

Maybe when it was all new without a little bit of wear on every join and pivot it was quite adequate for a lumbering "executive" saloon (Granada) which would more often than not been an automatic ?

Can't make out the throttle cable picture too well, important thing is that it needs the same "ball and clip" fixing at engine end. I used a solderless nipple at the pedal end.One of my spares hanging up in the garage is an Alexander Ref No. 487 but there are probably several that could be used with a bit of adaption?
