No not the gas pedal caught under the carpet kind.
I think my problem is a stuck float but thought I would check with you folks first.
The car is equipped with a 3 Weber DCOE45 carb setup. This morning I fired her up and while idling and with my foot off the accelerator pedal, the RPMs started to gather rather quickly. At around 4000 I killed the ignition and tried again. Same thing. With the hood up fiddling with the throttle linkage had no effect. After looking at my Weber manual for a while, I tried again and the problem seems to have disappeared. I am reluctant to take her on the road in case it occurs again in a traffic situation.
Any thoughts, as always, would be appreciated.
Cheers
