On mine, the throttle linkage parts were worn. There are a few different setups from the parts schematics. There is a throttle pivot on the firewall. I would probably buy a new one. Mine was worn. I had about 1/2 the peddle travel till the engine started to rev. Also, mine has a fork (two prongs) on the end of the shaft. There are two plastic square bushings in the plate they go into. Both of mine, there was only half of them left. A member here gave me part numbers. I couldn't find the part numbers elsewhere. I had a local parts guy order them from MB. Might check these out.
