When first tapping on the throttle, it sticks. Not really a problem, but it's getting annoying. Any solutions?

Check you throttle body. Might have some build up in there

Also check the stop screw for signs of it having moved (it's the one that looks like a threaded shank with no head). If the screw is backed-out too far, the blade sticks.

Otherwise keep your SN95 away from the '68. They obviously like eachother.

i had the same sticky pedal. it was cause that throttle screw started rusting to the peice of metal that it touches. u can either sand it down or put duct tape around the metal piece. i didnt have either one of those so i wrapped a band aiid around it and its smooth now.

i believe your problem will be build up in the throttle body.....i have seen this problem before and as stated earlier some throttle body cleaner should solve the problems....

Where is this screw exactly? Is it on the trottle body inside/outside? Or are you just talking about the idle screw?

JT was right.. the stop screw was moved.

Foxbody93- It's on the actual throttle body, next to the linkage.
