Was redoing my block grounding and wiring so had to remove the accelerator linkage mount that's just below it. While I had it off, I measure the long linkage and found it be at 296mm, while the shorter one was correct at 85mm.
I tried to shorten it and got it to 289 perhaps a shade over. Could not get it any shorter as one side had bottomed out and I could not get the other side nut to loosen and I was scratching the ball joint while holding it with pliers.
I had already ordered 2 ball joint from Max. In case I am not able to get the current stubborn end off (any tips), can I get just a rod?
What a difference correcting the length made. It had been running well before, but the throttle response was laggy. Now much improved.
This along the the new pedal, bushing, and linkage bushings has taken out all the slop and the feels much better.
