Accelerator Repaired

The accelerator is fixed. Turns out that there were three pivot points with plastic bushings that were binding. The steel shafts in the bushings were rusted. I separated them, removed the rust, put in some all-purpose grease and re-assembled. Now the accelerator works great. Now on to the modifications.

Back in the 60's and 70's when I was doing most of my mechanicing, we called that type of plastic, nylon. I never have know what it actually is, just some kind of white, hard plastic.
