Hi Nick,

The bind was at the heim end on the end of the rod connecting the cross-rod forward to the footbox pedal arm. When it went to WOT, the shoulder of the heim end would hit the lever arm. Cured it with a spacer. Don't tell Patrick that the reason I reacted so calmly was because the same thing happened on my car 3 years ago.

Two Home Depot throttle return springs at the carb (price tags still on), none at the pedal. Add that to the list of stuff to remedy.
