Accelerator for M35A2

[elkhunter]

I have to use a lot of pressure with my foot to push down on the accelerator to give my deuce fuel to give it forward momentum. My foot gets tired keeping it pushed down. Is there something I can do like installing a spring thats less stiff? Anyone have a suggestion? Hope this isn't a stupid question. Thanks!

Sounds like you have some binding in the linkage or the wrong spring installed.

Remove the linkage at the injector pump and check the movement.

Thanks Warthog! I'll look at it and give it a try. I;ll let you know how I came out on solving my problem. elk

My peddle hinge was seized. Have you tried moving it by hand with the truck not running? All I had to do was pull the bolt/pin and clean it up.

If it is hard to keep down, it must be spring pressure
as any binding would reduce the force required to maintain a position.

Gimp, one of mine got seized up over the winter.

Someone may have replaced the original return spring with a stronger one.
There should be enough spring tension to return the throttle but it should not wear your leg out to hold it in place.

On mine the pedal hing is wore an the control rod scrapes going through the floor board an makes the pedal stiff.

Old thread but I have same issue. Accelerator spring came off and when I tried to reuse it broke in half. Looking for a replacement thinking stainless steel. Anyone find an alternate decides oem?

Going to try mcmaster in the morning.
