Is there a matching replacement pot for the Pole Position Accelerator? In the test screen, mine is either on or off. It doesn't increase gradually, it jumps up and never reaches the max.
 
You might want to measure the resistance of your pot with a DMM as you rotate it.

The issue MAY not be the pot, but MAY be on the PCB.
 
If you haven't already, you might verify there actually is a pot. Two of mine had been hacked by the operator, and the pot had been replaced with a microswitch and some resistors.
 
you can also take a radioshack 5k pot and grind down the shaft and make that work... probhably no the most durable thing though.

This is exactly what's been done to mine. I saw the 5k pot at Radio Shack and decided for 3 bucks I'd make it a little project today. Turns out I've been hacked. The pulley and springs, etc, are gone. All I have in there is a microswitch and a resistor. :-(
