Gas pedal to the floor!

[MuRCieLaGo]

The pedal has a very noticeable play in it. It seems I got like 70% of my power right now when I push the pedal to the maximum. I just used a regular flathead screwdriver and pried the cable with the plenum, to bend it.

Yes, I took out the cable from the pulley, and I can move it in and out.

I'd be happy to believe that cable is hard to stretch...

Maybe the cable end at the pedal just stuck into something when I pried it? I'd be really happy if that was the case...

Push come to shove, you can shorten the cable at the pedal end using a locking collar.

Hobby shop that sells to RC airplane crowd would have right size collar for throttle cable.

I found a way to fix my problem for now. I used a lead weight to shorten the cable!
