I vote for Jon's diagnosis. Get the pivots lubricated or fixed if they're worn out and I bet your problem will disappear. If the pivot mechanism is worn, just swap with the center pedal. I explain to the customer what I've done, that I can put on new but it will entail the cost of new parts plus another service call which can amount to $75-$100 pretty easy. They are almost always happy to leave the worn parts on a pedal that is never used.

It turned out to be the pedal pivot pins. -- Regards, Jon Page
