	I've started getting a sticky Accelerator pedal in my 1.1 Escort (still on VV carb). Its sticky to press to accelerate further but if you take your foot off it doesn't stay stuck. Anyone had this before? Also, for down the line, what weber carbs have people replaced the VV with. Anything cheaper off a later fiesta etc that fits the Valencia engine? new weber replacements seem quite expensive.

	disconnect throttle cable and drip some thin oil down the cable something like 3 in 1 oil and lubricate the linkages see if that helps i think the replacement for a vv carb is a weber 32 ich i maybe wrong

Just having a look on ebay and seeing these Weber 34's will check out the 32 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WEBER-34-ICH-CARBURETTOR-VOLKSWAGON-FORD/254536198459?hash=item3b438a293b:g:RO0AAOSw9PNeZr9H
