Hi ! Thanks everyone who offered advice a couple weeks ago, i finally had time to play with it today, one of the plastic ball end joint housings had cracked on the link to the air throttles, what i didn't see before was that the accelerator was linked to the Spica pump but not the stuck wide open throttles ! the symptoms make sense now ! jak -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
