Not sure exactly what you mean by tight. I remember when I was tuning
the carbs, it seemed to snap back pretty well. I guess I could try
again at the weekend - just warm up the car, get back in the garage,
disconnect the cable and give the thing a few tweaks, see if I can
replicate the problem. I am tempted to overhaul the carbs anyway -
they look untouched for the last 25 years...

I'll have a look. I don't see how a spring could stick halfway through
it's travel, but it doesn't take long to look.

Indeed. :)
