\ I hope so, too. But if it happens again, is there any reason why you couldn't add a spring to the system elsewhere, or replace an existing one with a stronger version?

If you don't have a spring laying around to try with, I'd go to the store, splurge and spend a buck (possibly two) and buy a new one to find out if it's the spring. Or, shorten one end of your existing spring. Not knowing what it looks like, I'm only guessing that it can be done, but usually...

Let's hope that doesn't happen again. But if it does, it's quicker to put the tranny in a high gear and stall the engine than to remove the doghouse for access.

Ask General Hood if you can have some of his old ones. I believe he gets new ones every time he takes his SEE in for detailing. They're the temporary kind, but still.

Hey, glad to learn that you got it working well again! And it looks like you've taken after General Hood, making things nice and shiny. Time for some floor mats to protect that nice floor.

Subconsciously inspired by you, perhaps, the other day I took the doghouse off on my SHEE, since the throttle felt overly stiff and did hang up once or twice shortly after getting it. After doing nothing more than spraying some lithium grease on all pivots points in the linkage, it loosened up...

You may want to read the SEE, HMMH and HME thread. Just recently the subject of getting the throttle linkage unstuck was covered there. Actually, if you read that thread from start to ever-expanding-finish, you'll find more info than most can absorb in a single read.
