February 9, 200916 yr comment_273649 Mine was acting up after sitting for 26 years. I removed, cleaned and greased every ball and socket joint from the foot feed to the carb connecting shaft. So much smoother now.Bonzi Lon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/30769-weird-idling-problem/#findComment-273649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 9, 200916 yr comment_273650 So what parts do I need to buy and where can I get them at?I believe that worn throttle shafts require machine work. Might be time to contact Bruce about his product if that's the case.
