When I get to third and let the clutch out that brings the engine back down to idle and everything is o.k. This is the same for every gear I go through. I know there is a long spring down around the IP, and I'm wondering if maybe that spring has got weak and will not pull the throttle back down. I hope its that simple. I will appreciate any advice. Thanks.
