I had to abort a take-off due to poor acceleration and low manifold pressure. 
Problem was caused by one throttle cable sticking  at just above idle while the
other at full throttle! 
Even when the cable was lubricated it was still has high friction. Looks like I
need new cables. Think the cable system needs expandable rubber boots to reduce
the amount of grit that must contaminate the cable runs. 
Anyone else had this problem?
