parents a6

[Fred Munro]

Your unintended acceleration in the winter may be due to moisture in the
throttle cable. When it freezes, you can open the throttle with foot
pressure but the return spring isn't strong enough to close it against the
friction of the ice. Not a problem in summer, of course. I've had a similar
problem on my UrS4 - cured with a shot of WD40 when warm to displace the
water. Makes life interesting for a few moments if it happens, though :o)
