Throttle return springs
flak monkey - 18/1/09 at 08:58 AM

What has everyone else done who is running throttle bodies with regards to throttle return springs?

I currently only have the springs which are on the tbs themselves and i dont know if thats enough. If not what has everyone else done?

I did them this way round Dave, because once setup a simple change of the spring stiffness alters the feel in no time...

Just left mines as is at the moment David although seeing as they were meant for wrist action they feel quite light on foot action if you see what I mean.
As long as they're not sticking try them first and modify later.

I put a normal spring on where the return throttle cable would be. Just drilled a small hole for the spring to sit in. Rescued attachment Extra return spring.JPG

I'm just running mine as was seems fine to me.

Just been for a drive and the throttle seems light, but returns ok. Might just add one on to be on the safe side.

I like your idea stuart, will see if I can fit something in along those lines.

Cheers,
David
