[TR] More BS about TRs: throttle return spring

[wbeech]

Brian,
Yes, it will take a fabrication of some sort.  I am looking at the picture
and the spring runs from the back of the air cleaner to a small  "T" style
post in the center of the linkage, attached by the linkage clamp bolts.
I'll scan this and send it to you, hopefully it will help.

Subject: [TR] More BS about TRs: throttle return spring

On page 22 of his tome, "More BS about TR's", Bob Schaller has a section on
an auxiliary carb return spring. The piece finishes: "The illustration shows
the simple fabrication necessary." But not in my case; I must have a
several-generations-removed-from-original copy, because this image is
largely a black blob.

I am imagining a spring attached to the backside of an air filter and to the
linkage between the carb shafts. If so, is there a piece attached to the
linkage to give the spring some leverage? Where on the linkage does the
spring act? Is it on the rear carb shaft, or the centre section?

A clear description, or clear photo would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Brian
