yer right Ed, pull on, turn to slow down, but just pushing the gas accomplishes that faster

because when you step on the gas the engine vacuum decreases - you can improve that behavior some by getting the fuel pump that has the vacuum assist pump on it
Brian - if yer's don't work at all you need to at least open the wiper motor and clean it out, and then grease the leather flap you find in there to help it seal and stay supple - may need to get it rebuilt
