Hello All,

First to introduce myself, my name is Chris and I'm new to the list
having recently moved over from the Spitfire world.  I've had my TR6 now
for about 3 weeks and it's now in running order (ok when I found it, it
was mostly in running order).  That said, now that I have had it out for
a bit, I have noticed that on occasion that gas pedal seems to feel like
it is binding.  When I press on it, I get up to about 2500rpm and then
the peddle feels like it has hit a stop.  If I remove my foot and
re-engage the pedal I almost always get full travel again and everything
seems back to normal.

I've started tracing through the linkage for the pedal and don't see
anything obvious - but I will admit it is slightly more complicated than
the single cable to the single carb on the spit :).  Anyways, if anyone
has any advice on where to begin looking that would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks again
c.
