Bendix cruise control creeps

[sfedeli3]

Hi Marty- I second Ralph's suggestion about a dirty valve on the cruise assembly
or a sticky air throttle cylinder. Once on a trip across Iowa, mine started
behaving the same way- but it turned out to be a broken throttle return spring-
check those too. The combination of the sticky throttle cylinder and a broken
return spring will make for quite a thrill ride!
