I confused this symptom in my Lectra with a bad controller. I upgraded my controller needlessly. Listen for that microswitch click everytime you let off the go pedal. You shouldn't have to slap it back for it to work. If you don't have enough play in your cable it could be on the edge and overnight contract a bit. When it won't start you let the pedal loose and that is just enough to stretch the cable and the switch closes and the next time you push you go. Just loosen your cable a bit. Lawrence Rhodes....The fulcrum point might matter... lubricate the cable.....sticky cable might not allow the cable to retract all the way.....that will keep the switch from closing all the way..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Electro Automotive" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 6:28 PM Subject: Re: Curtis 1221: Fauly, Quirk or Design?
