The HIF has an opening cam for the cable, whereas the HS just has a cable "pull", so the HIF is more progressive (read:soft) at early throttle openings.
Personally I prefer the HS setup

Wanting peoples opinion who have a 1 1/2SU if you Peddle is firm. the reason The season I ask is My wifes HIF44 peddle is very free and a total contrast to Mine. I'm Using a very similar cable (Bike Hanbrake Cable and Outer) so I'm not thinking its that but the 1 1/2 return spring |

it's only 4 parts - you should be able to narrow that down! pedal, cable, linkage, shaft |

Normally the HIF's give a 'lighter' pedal as the use a hair-spring return arrangement. |

With the motor stopped take the spring off and then push the pedal down. There should be very little resistance. (don't forget to re-fit the spring) I bet the spring is the wrong one. The stock springs are fairly soft but a lot of replacements are too strong. There should be very little difference between the two different types. They may have completely different mechanisms and springs but the pedal should take about the same amount of pressure to operate it. |

Good throttle cables used to be all teflon lined. I think half the problem these days is we are all getting sold `not-so-good' ones... |

I've seen the cable wear a groove into the firewall and/or holding bracket on the carb. This sort of 'jams' the cable and causes high resistance. You might check that...

I think half the problem these days is we are all getting sold `not-so-good' ones... I've found a good puff of graphite powder in both ends makes an enormous difference. I tried grease once and once only, it gritted up in no time flat. |
