Attractor1 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 1984 GL Hatch, i just put on my weber carb... My throttle sticks and i have to pump the gas once to get it loose so it goes back to idle and it sometimes stays up at 2500 rpm when it sticks.... How can i fix this so i don't have to pump?????????

TheLoyale Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well, whats the condition of the throttle cable/plate on the carb? Try some Seafoam Deep Creep to eat any rust that may be starting and then used some oil on the cable and such so it doesn't form again and it'll keep it nice a stick-free btw, when I said oil, I mean a little motor oil or even some 3n'1 will keep it nice. I did the same thing to my throttle body plate and return spring. Works wonders, I mean you don't want to have it stick when your doing 45mph, (Putting it in Nutral or putting the clutch in would be a big mistake) Extrem high reving! Hope this helps you, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenley Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Sounds like you don't have a return spring at all. See [here] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 You probally need to space the actuator plate out a bit, it's the piece the end of the cable attaches to. Just remove the nut, slide the plate off the shaft, slip a couple of washers on there, replace the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
