Hey kids, My '84 Westy 1.9l emerged from its winter garage hibernation in fine shape. However, the engine speed, once warm, doesn't kick down when I pull up to a stop. A swift punch of the accelerator brings the speed down to idle. The van was doing this intermittently at the end of last year. I shot some WD-40 in and around the accelerator pedal, and around the throttle linkage. It seemed to help some, but my imagination sometimes gets the better of me. Do you all think this a corrosion issue that can be satisfied with better lubrication, or am I looking at a parts change? Thanks. Kevin
