I just lubed mine, and still have to watch it , sometimes idles too high, etc,,, You need to check the cable routing, and see if its binding or kinked somewhere, if not check the pedal itself, and lube well, work a few times and see if it will free up. Also may not have enough spring tension on it ? This is , in my mind at least the #1 potential problem with these things, and another reason BCB wont reccommend them. Also the #1 reason for imploding gearcases.
