Throttle Pedal Inspection
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or
cable misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle speed.
Also, the throttle may not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no
play, the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle speed may
be erratic.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in
a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in
