Also, für alle die das Thema heute noch interessiert. Ich habe folgendes Mail von einer bekannten Toyo-Werkstatt aus Holland erhalten und die angesprochenen Punkte sind absolut Plausibel:
There are no parts involved in this modification. Its a matter of checking your car on several, below, outlined points and some labor involved modifying your throttle pedal. The caracter of the engine you cannot change.
1) Check on the rear of the fuelpump that all springs are there to pull-back the throttle mechanism into its idle position when releasing the throttlepedal.
2) If your car has too stif rearsprings it will jump more easily its backside up and influences greatly your throttle management.(simply said doing so you cannot/hardley keep your foot still).
3) If you have a suspension seat it will cause the same reaction as with stiff springs and a unloaden vehicle.
4) Very important; There could be very well too much play in the driveline between going on-throttle and off-throttle.
Most of this play can come from your gearbox outputshaft and the splines on your transfer inputgear. This could be
severe and causing the biggest part of the roblem. You need to check this mechanicly and when in doubt take the transfer
box apart to visually check the conditions of the above mentioned components.
5) Last but most important; READ WELL; The ratio between your throttle pedal and the lever on the fuelpump is about
1 : 1,25. It should be around 1 : 1.6 It means in standard form that you depress your pedal 1.25 centimeter en your
fuelpumplever goes 1 centimeter wich is way to quickly.The engine responds too fast.
The key is to relocate the hingepoint of your throttle pedal downwards into a better ratio.
You have to do that by taking it off and welding it on in a different position.
It could take some expirimenting. The outcome is worth the exercise.

wayne@crushersrule.comthe only thing i don't like about the 12HT is the touchy pedal with the standard but with the auto it is very nice...
=> The pump actuator was apparently designed to have 2 return springs to avoid that "touchy pedal" feel you're talking about. In Europe, dealers would remove one of the 2 springs because customers were complaining
about how hard the pedal was to press and their leg got tired on long drives.
Last summer I borrowed my sister's HJ61 to drive the trans-Pyrenean mountain trail. On road or *fast* trails, the truck wasn't hard to drive but on damaged trails where low speed was necessary, it was a real pain
(engine jerking because it would react so promptly to my right foot undergoing the road bumps) and I remember even driving with the hand throttle at some point!
My trail mate was also driving a HJ61 and he gave me one of his spare throttle spring and the driving became real smooth and easy to control.
I've heard that second spring fell-off (?) few months after so it's not durable.
Hope this help,
Lio
