Default Ek with hard throttle

This is my first ek and the throttle pedal feels very stiff. Either your very lightly on the gas or really into it. There is no middle point. Is this common? Is it the pedal or throttle cable?

The throttle plate could be dirty or the pedal itself may be stiff but it's more likely the cable is the problem.

Majestic Honda sells throttle cables for cheap.

Clean your throttle body with carburetor cleaner.

i'll bet your cable is fubared.. is it swapped? i've seen some ragged, frayed, kinked up cables on swapped cars that give the same pedal feeling.

...come to think of it, how do you even screw up a throttle cable??
