Just got back from a long trip, Lower MO to New Orleans to Florida panhandle back to Lower MO. Sometime between New Orleans and Panama City, I noticed my throttle was not returning to idle at stoplights. It would return to about 1400 rpm. If I shifted into neutral and jabbed the pedal, it would return to idle.
At the campsite in FL, I sprayed the linkage with lubricant. No difference on the return trip.
Do the return springs ever go bad? I had an "old car" buddy tell me to check my cruise control. Well, when I pulled into the driveway at home, I left it running and opened up the engine room.....the cruise control chain had some slack it in.
Is this a carb issue?
Any help will be appreciated.
