Sticking Throttle

My throttle has started sticking. If I back of the accelerator, the say when shifting, car sticks at about 2000-3000 rpm. I can get it to return if I quickly press then release the accelerator pedal.

So I guess it's either the carby or the cable. The carby is quite new with about 500kms on it.

Any thought on how to troubleshoot this?

Disconect the cable from the carby and see if it still sticks when revved from the carby.

If not check the cable.

Most likely the carburetor

Good idea to test it. Had this happen to me too

Yes so it looks like the throttle link on the carb is stiff. I lubricated it and it helped a little. Needs improvement though. Maybe a second or heavier return spring, or loosen the nut?

It's a common problem with the Weber downdraft (throttle linkage nut is too tight). But I haven't heard of it being a problem with the Hitachi carburetor

I should have mentioned; it's a near new 32/36 weber, and the issue developed after about 500kms.

Genuines have the problem. The nut should only be tightened a little and then there will be no problem

I've had this happen with DGV's as well, the throttle sticks, so I loosened the nut & it then fell off. I've found there's a difference between the weber supplied nut & the Nissan one. The Weber one had a bit of drag on it, probably by design. So I used a Weber nut, plus a second one to act as a lock nut. I could also have used the locking tab that came with the standard carburettor.

Forgot to update this one:

The nut seemed to be adjusted correctly - finger tight plus 1/6 turn. I removed the nut and carefully reinstalled it to just finger tight. The throttle still sticks unfortunately. In fact the nut might even be a bit loose - I can move it a bit with my fingers, but it's locked down with the tab so hopefully it stays put.

I ended up fitting a second spring and it's ok now, but didn't really find the cause.
