Accelerator Linkage Modification
« on: September 25, 2016, 06:36:20 PM »
CJ3A, F134 with a Holey LIST 1817 Carb.  Linkage is a problem (as in stuck at near full throttle).  Too many changes of direction from pedal, up and over the engine to the right side carb mounting and then attachment to the carb itself.  Poor work at the carb? or just pivots and cranks worn out.  Thinking of putting all those questions aside and trying a motorcycle type throttle cable with an appropriate spring to bring back to idle.  Anybody tried this? Sure would appreciate some direction here.  Embarrassing to need to turn off the key on these near overspeeds.   Don Parrish

You can get a foot feed/cable assembly from summit racing or other like sources. I've never used one so no idea how they work in a Jeep.
