Hi all,

My 1990 740 wagon (B234F engine) has a lot of spring tension on the gas
pedal.

Is there any way of adjusting it to make it easier to depress?

Thanks much,

Perk (:>)

How much is a lot? Is the throttle spool and mechanism in good shape?
Check to make sure the cable is wound around the spool correctly and
that nothing is binding. No adjustment should affect the spring tension,
but something may be sticking.
