Question

Posted

 when the accelerator is pressed and released ,the engine is kept raised at idle without slowing down, and on motion after engaging gears the vehicle moves without the need to press the accelerator. i.e vehicle needs only the use of the clutch and the break pedal. Showed it to a mechanic and his advice is that the fault lies in the `door` of the carburator and not in the accelerator cable. your advice together with a recommendation of a garage where I can sought out this problem is very much appreciated

Just a few questions. 

1. Before pressing the accelerator does the engine rev at a lower RPM like 600 - 700 (you may not have a RPM meter but at least you can guess the RPM from engine beat).

2. Do you have the AC system working?

3. Which area are you located? Your location may help someone to give a recommendation on a mechanic near by.

Sticking throttle is a seroius safety prob,

you can try spraying carb clean for a temp fix but the unit is best inspected by a pro .

And when was the last time you replaced the air filter?

Air filter was replaced couple of years ago. Took the Echo test only couple of weeks ago passed with very good readings
