test the pedal return by disconnecting the short rod from the pedal assembly thats just below the brake master cylinder in the engine bay. No 11 on drawing 4785
now , is the pedal stiff or light?
If I may
the accelerator system on RHD cars has a series of bars and linkages to connect the pedal to the Throttle assembly.
(dwg 04790 seems to show 2 different linkage systems - bracket No 4 is what I have)
there are
three return springs - one at pedal, one at rotating bracket on left side of block and one at throttle body
and 3 push pull bars
1 x rotating bracket ( left side of block)
2 x rotating levers ( below brake master cylinder) and ) one at left hand end of rotating torsion bar)
1 x rotating torsion bar. (runs along firewall)
There is a (torsion) bar that runs along the fire wall connecting the pedal( RHD) to the left side of the block - this bar rubs again my firewall insulation blanket.
After disconnecting all the parts and reconnecting - I reckon the bar at the pedal assembly is sorta stuck
any thoughts on how to unstick this bar?
here is a photo of a spare pedal assembly showing this bar - this one is kinda stiff too!
No 2- 10 on dwg 0004785
