Throttle sticks
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2021 8:44 pm
Lurch has not really been used whilst we have been in lockdown and as a consequence things have rusted which other wise might not have rusted!
The issue I have which really needs attention is a sticking throttle pedal.
Now does anyone know were the pivot / sliding through bushes etc points are on a right hand drive Haflinger.
I know there is a long rod attached to the throttle pedal which runs from the outside of the footwell to the centre of the Haflinger and then has a little lever with a pivot to another rod which goes through the back of the footwell into the central channel along the length of the platform to the engine firewall, through that to a ball and socket joint on the Carb. What I need to know is where are the bearing / bushes that the throttle pedal pivots in as that bit is covered by a metal shield. I don't really want to have to cut all of that off in order to find out that it is only supported at either end by a 1cm wide bush!
Also does it run through bushes under the platform?
I need to get some grease /oil into all the bearings / bushes as I can't drive it like it is!
