My new-to-me '58 TO-35 has a sloppy throttle, by which I mean you can move the lever on the dashboard quite a bit before anything happens, Looking up from underneath I see a little linkage with a ball and socket on each end. "It looks like the same kind as used on old British cars", I think to myself, and rummaging around in my various hordes of old parts, don't I find one almost identical. Lucky me.
Today I looked at it again and it seems like when the lever is being operated and while nothing is happening, a spring is being compressed within this linkage and there is a whole bunch of movement - almost as if by design.
So here is my question - is it really supposed to be like that or is some defect fooling me? It looks like a pile of time to get far enough in to actually deal with it.
Thanks,
Jim
