You don't mention if your car has fuel injection or a carburettor. I think you have the latter, right?

For a relatively small displacement engine you don't need huge carbs. The carbs that are on are probably more than enough for the engine's need for fuel and air. as a result the last bit of pedal travel won't make a lot of difference. In my Amazon it certainly doesn't beyond 3/4 until it reaches high rpms.

But if you mean that the last bit of pedal travel will actually reduce the engine's output, then you have a problem. In my case depressing the accelerator quickly and completely at low speed in high gear will cause the mixture to become too rich, to the point of flooding the engine. If I gradually depress the pedal, the problem isn't nearly as bad. Reason: worn carb jet (replaced needle: little effect, the jet has also worn).
