I was driving tonight in my '82 244 Turbo with a B21FT when for no reason, while driving at a slow speed and gradually accelerating the motor immediately and unexpectedly raced to max rpm.
I shut it down, pulled over, started it up: same thing.
Waited a couple minutes, tried again: same.
The throttle cable seems fine, not kinked, in normal closed position with engine shut off.
WTF?
I suspect the throttle must be stuck wide open, but I wasn't on the throttle much at all when it happened.
Oh well, I'll try to sort it out tomorrow in the light of day.
A new one on me; any ideas as to what it might be?
