[Tigers] Accelerator Pedal Slipping

[wsamouce at kc.rr.com]

I had the same issue.  It is fixed now.

If you remove the pedal from the shaft, you will see that there is a cut out
that decreases in size of the opening when you tighten the bolt which crimps
the pedal to the throttle shaft.  Mine was just about completely closed when
tightened.  I cut some material of off one side which allows the opening to
close further.  Additionally I cut groves across the clamping face to make
b
teethb
 that would bite into the shaft.  I also replaced the bolt because
it was bent.  Now a gorilla canbt get the pedal to slip on the shaft.

Also, make sure that the floor stop is there and properly adjusted.  That way,
at WOT, you are not putting undue stress on the pedal and throttle linkage.
