Whats up with yours?

Is it stiff, or totally shagged?

Nothing now hopefully ,
Actually on investigation nothing at all ... took it off checked it , ptfe lubed it, re routed the cable , modded the TBody fixed end bracket and it seems ok now .
Gone back to the original spring, otherwise the tickover stays a bit high.

Used to have a real sticky spot ( 1800rpm) when the motor got hot.. made life a bit interesting in traffic and a pain the drive.
