Hancock - Head Chateauroux}6/JH.22.5.37. Service Complaints. Bentley Throttle Control Sticking. The complaints of the throttle sticking on Bentley carburettors is due to two reasons. 90% are due to the accelerator pedal sticking in its bearing. This bearing has a small Rotherham lubricator which being situated under the floor boards seldom if ever receives attention. This bearing should be made of self lubricating material and be made a free fit. The same scheme has been designed for the Wraith and applies to the 25/30 and Phantom III. Ra/G.W.Hancock. | ||
