OK, took the carb off the car so I could get a better idea about what the heck is going on with this sticky throttle. I believe that the small, curved/bent rod that links the primary throttle mechanism to the secondary shaft (on the left side of the carb) was causing my problem. By bending and straightening that linkage rod mechanism, the primary now moves easily and freely. Have yet to drive the car, but it seems like a good start, as, on the bench, the accelerator arm moves perfectly.

Also, the carb leaks fuel from the passenger's side. Bowls and Accelerator pump appear to be dry and not the source of the leak. How do i proceed to the diagnosis?

thanx, and sorry it has taken so long to get back to this. s






thanx so much. steve
