Throttle pedal ...........
16. Jan 2011 at 15:29

I've not used my Mig for some months, but took her out for a good spin today.

However, I noticed that the accellerator pedal has a huge amount of play before anything happens - like about an inch or more. Also, kickdown don't work - which I'd thought was the switch.

before I go to the hassle/cost of replacing the cable/switch assembly, is there anything else that it could be?

Thanks - Rob

Did your kickdown work before you adjusted the cable?
