Unintended acceleration

[Bill Rowe]

wow!  did that require a change of undies when you got home?  had a similar
situation on my '72 suzuki gt750 a few yrs ago when one of the carb slides
stuck wide open.  scared the s**t out of me.

Subject: Unintended acceleration


Hi all...had an unusual occurrance last night on my way home from Christmas
dinner.  Just reached the bypass where I was able to pass some slower
traffic, floored the 200q20v and the throttle stuck wide open.  The pedal
was
not stuck...put my foot under it thinking this would help...and it didn't.
I
tried braking, hoping that it would help...and it didn't.  Finally
disengaged
the clutch, steered to the right, planning to shut it down.  The engine
revved to 7k+, then returned to idle as if nothing ever happened, and
continued operating normally for the last 15 miles or so to home.  I haven't
seen any similar pattern before, nor have I heard of same.   Anyone have any
similar experiences or ideas?  Regards, Tom Donohue
