[Roadsters] Throttle sticks open

[Sam Conway]

Jeff,

You should only ever drive the car on full throttle all the time even
through the city

That's how these cars sound the best, I found a bright red and blue
lights strapped to the top of the car help to clear the traffic

Check the return spring you may need to fit a second one, having the
accelerator linkage hot would not have expanded to cause any of these
issues.

Also preventative Maintenance helps to ensure that your car stays
healthy

HI guys,

Thanks for the help with the voltage regulator. Everything is working
now. But I have another problem.

I took it out for its maiden drive a couple of days ago. I drove around
for several miles then stopped for gas. When I started going again, the
gas peddle was "heavy" and hard to smoothly accelerate. I took it out
today several times for short trips with no problems. I then drove it
about ten miles and stop for a bit. When I started up again, the gas
pedal was heavy but this time the throttle stuck open and wouldn't go
back to idle.

My guess is that when I stopped the engine temperature rose and the
linkage expanded. Was I supposed to use a lubricant on the linkage? Any
ideas.
