Reply to "Accelerator linkage "hanging up""

in addition to the great recommendations offered above,  a neat upgrade to you CB performance linkage  is this nifty ball bearing upgrade kit.  https://www.thesamba.com/vw/cl...detail.php?id=786740

i can’t recall, but a member here used to sell a great version of these.

it’s a plug and play installation…. Just need to cut the linkage bar the specified  amount from each side… read the attached details.

also, the manufacturer of the part sold by Airkweld…  I purchased mine from him directly.

on the carb spring front, find ones that are not too strong… mine caused a lot of tension, which I did not like feeling on the gas pedal.  I tinkered with the springs ( one on each carb) until I had a the silky smooth pedal feel a like.

— trick that keeps my linkage working properly is keeping the system clean and well lubricated,

Hope this helps,

cheers,
