throttle return spring
can any-one help me with fitting a throttle return spring to the carb end on my r1 powered mac 1, it has been fitted with a return spring on the
accelerator pedal which i'm sure is not right as the resistance is too strong?

sometimes you find the spring on the carbs, while ok for the bikes twist grip, sometimes isn't strong enough for a pedal. this is why
you've got the spring on there.
now you ask for help, but what help do you need?

fixed.

im not sure where i can mount the spring on the carb end of the cable, i do not know which r1 engine i have fitted only that it is a carb model, is
there somewhere on the carbs that i can fit a spring for the best reliability as the pedal one has snapped twice!!

i am not sure how or where to mount a return spring the carb end so i can eliminate the need for one on the pedal.

This is how I fitted a throttle return spring to my ZZR carbs. There is a special hole to accept the nipple and the cable was cut approx 6" from
the nipple with the arrangement below fitted to the other end, it works a treat.
I have a selection box of various springs left over if you want me to send you some.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

I had to fit an extra return spring to my ZZR1100 carbs fitted to pinto on Mac#1 ZR. With a lighter spring the throttle wasnt shutting off fast enough
and revs were too high when changing gear. Extra spring cured it but does result in higher throttle resistance. Either get used to the throttle the
way it is or try a slightly lighter spring. I bought a boxed set of assorted springs for about a tenner - worth having in stock.
