What would cause the gas pedal to stick intermittently when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position?

[Edit]

Answer

Dirty linkages at the carb/fuel injector, linkages being the throttle cable. Cable could be crimped or bent or misrouted causing it to kink slightly. Possible replacement of a return spring.
