Terry and Richard,
I initially had only one spring on it but when it was dynoed another was
added as the engine would idle at higher revs (~1500rpm) after heavy
throttle application. It would then drop to normal idle after a quick 'tap'
of the accelerator.
I think the problem is something to do with the cable setup, my car was a
guinea pig for it and I don't think it's perfect! I will have a look at a S1
Blueturd throttle pedal soon and suss out whether I can adapt it to my
current cable/linkage. All my friends complain that my accelerator is *so*
heavy.

Zac,
You are correct, S1 Bluebird is well used for cable throttle. It is typical
that 1 x 45 has two return springs and sometimes they are even on opposing
sides when a stock bar linkage is used. If your linkage is too hard reduce
the spring tension on the firewall side as it only needs to be about 1/2 the
pull of the other side.
regards,
terry

I thought Bluebird pedal was the go for a cable throttle?
Mine (single weber) runs a cable off the original lever next to the booster,
and then a custom mount at the weber end. I don't like it very much, it's
very heavy. has two return springs on it.

I would suggest having a look around your nearest pick apart. The 240K has a
cable operated accelerator which may work. I will be looking into this in
the near future for setup of a single 45mm webber. I will let you know how I
go.

I was just wondering what the best way is to hook up a set off twin =
webbers to the throttle on the floor of the car. At present the old man =
has adapted the standard link on the firewall ( the bit under the washer =
motor that links to the original carby set-up) to the webber throttle =
rail that opens up the throttle on the webbers. While this is a neat =
and tidy set-up it seems that this doesn't supply enough leverage thus =
the carby butterflies don't open up completly (Probably about 85-90% =
which is probably a good thing for a lead-footed 18 year old)
Adjust this to open the butterflies fully means a higher idle. =
Basically more leaverage is required, either from the pedal set-up or =
replacing the whole shebang with a throttle cable set-up instead of =
leavers and connecting bars. What is the best and easiest solution? =
(sorry about the length)
