Hey gang, The shifter pedal on my 76 is very stiff, like it's binding.
When I brought this bike home a year ago, it shifted like butter.
Now the shift pedal won't return to center. It sticks and stays where
ever it's set.
Now, I did replace the water pump on this bike back in the fall, but
I could swear it didn't bind after that. The bike hasn't been ridden
since the pump was replaced. Could replacing the pump cause this?
I believe some of the shifter parts are behind the pump, right?
Thanks gang. (got a bad feeling I'll be taking everything apart again)
