My throatle moves a little from the front pedal maybe 3". but no movement at the rear. I suspect the hang up is in the S curved tube leaving the bulk head. Not to long ago I had the cable out , no problem then. But the last 5 or 6 times out when I first pressed the pedal it would resist, then go, and be ok for the rest of the trip.
Anyway which is the best approach to take the tube out ( though the bedroom inspection plate)?? What have you replaced it with?? Any input would be appreciated.Thanks

The cable is out cleaned and back in.
Thanks Two Dogs, Luke and Tom Connely. Boy at first it would not move, we did not need a pullalong, but did use vise grips.
Thanks
John
You should have see Tami,s look last night we were all sat up ready to roll and the thottle cable was stuck, she said she was not to sure anymore about these old buses.
Wait till she comes home and see,s that one of the baggage doors dropped of today,
Thats probably the reason we didnt leave last night???

Hey John,

If it ain't broke....Don't fix it....

Well took her out for a spin tonight, called Tami to see she wanted to go, she asked if we were going to take her out with the bay door still off or on? I forgot.
Anyway the thottle cable worked fantastic the tranny shifts much easier now, I have had it out before cleand it up, gunked it, pulled it in and out a few times.But using TWO DOGS BP BLASTER nothing else no more gunk.Its never been better loose all the way.
I found my brake problem( footbreak bottoming out no resistance) the diaframe in the adjustable valve feeding the axillaries had gone, leaking. Luke sent me a new one (not a lot of room under there, redid with plastic hose) Now the brakes are working correct again. Something for us 4104 owners to remember.
Thanks again
John
