The throttle control stick is very stiff, does this mean the throttle cable needs replacing, lubricating, or is there some adjustment. 1993 4.3 engine. Also idle is too low, how to adjust.Thanks

Ayuh,.... It Could be the controller itself,..... might just need to be lubed,.....

It Could be the cable,..... if so, replace it, lubin' it rarely works,....

For the idle, turn the idle adjustin' screw on the carb in alittle bit, 'n shoot for 650/ 700 rpms,.....

Thank you, I"ll give it a try. Can the controller be lubricated.
