I take it that Rich=E2=80=99s throttle symptoms have occurred suddenly.
Last spring I replaced the exhaust manifolds on my BJ8 and had to remove =
the throttle lever with the pinch bolt for access. After reassembling =
everything, I did a 250-mile run to attend the first event since Covid =
put an end to car activities and everything was normal. On the way =
from the motel to the car show the next morning, I experienced the same =
symptoms as Rich Antal describes: I had to press the pedal almost to =
the floor to get the car to accelerate. I suspected the pinch bolt had =
loosened and allowed the throttle lever to slip on the pedal shaft. =
After the show, I turned the lever to the proper location for opening =
the carb butterflies and the problem was solved (actually, it became TOO =
responsive to the accelerator pedal). When I got home, I did the =
adjustment according to the manual. =20
I think Rich=E2=80=99s lever is also slipping on the shaft.=20

The workshop manual has guidance how the throttle levers are to be set =
up. General rule of thumb is you want to have each throttle lever to =
start the throw at one angle and end the throw at the same and opposite =
angle. this will give you maximum throw and power. also the plastic =
