[Healeys] Throttle? linkage

My BN6 with HD6's idles just fine at around 800 rpm and the mixture is
correct as far as I can determine. Problem is that when I accelerate the
linkage sticks coming down at about 2,000 rpm and stays there. When in the
cockpit, trying to raise the pedal with my foot does nothing -- it is
already up as far as it will go.

Under the bonnet, when I goose the linkage by moving the relay shaft to
carbs, it comes right down where it should at 800 even running past 2,000
rpm. If I hold this shaft open above 2,000 rpms, it will only come back down
to 2,000 rpm and I have to nudge the shaft to bring it back to 800.

What am I missing???
