Bought it used. Speed/direction pedal did not always return to neutral, Found the "damper" had been removed and "fixed" with a Rube Goldberg setup of springs. DID work OK(ish) but often had to nudge the pedal into neutral.

Bought a new "damper", removed the springs and, as I recall, was happy (ish), for a bit. Really did not seem to make all that much difference, but made me feel better.

I did lube the "mystery zirc". But, still, at times, it will sit "just off" neutral, requiring little toe nudge to get there. Just a "tap" it seems.

What might I look at/adjust? Hopefully this is not an internal issue.
