My 73 142 has a bad throttle position switch too. The contacts that the spring rubbed over are shot. When I did the '20 clicks test' I was hearing much more than that. Sounded like a very busy bug light. This caused poor acceleration due to hicup sputtering etc. Disconnected it and its running much better. No more sputtering on the highway etc. I'll look for a (cheap) new one or good used one at pick-n-pull, but I'm in no hurry as its working now.
