Default Accelerator pedal

Hi Tony,
I solved my problem with the pedal by fitting a rubber piece and washer on the connecting rod so that it bears on the out side of the foot plate. This acts as a stop and to a certain extent a seal. There are no other stops from there to the carburettor.
It may not be what was there originally but it is simple and works well.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Terry
