You guys must really tromp down on that pedal ! My guess is that the
pedal and stop are not adjusted correctly. In other words, the carb reaches
its
stop and the pedal hasn't. Push a little harder and the bracket slips on
the shaft.
Or you have got some really, really tough return springs on that carb.

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.
