Carburetor throttle shaft spring

[Jeb911]

(Currently, my carb is removed from the engine)

Ok... I've been working my butt off on trying to get my throttle shaft freed up. I've succeeded in getting the shaft clean enough so that the throttle shaft moves freely. It has literally taken seven hours of carb cleaner and penetrating oil.

Nonetheless, I am curious to know about the tension on the throttle valve spring(part number 2). I'm curious to know how many times I should wind the spring before attaching it to the throttle lever assembly(part number 52). When I attached the spring, there's almost 75% of one full rotation of the spring before it attaches to the lever assembly. I'm wondering if it should be wound twice.

My issue is that the throttle arm has a slow return... If I barely touch the oil pump cable, it returns. I'm not sure about the normal operation of this valve. Should it snap back to idle? Or, is it natural for it to have a slow return to idle?

Hi,
you linked wrong microfiche.

It should snap back with OUT delay.
When you let go of throttle it should close with a snap.
At least that it how all my carbs are. Not sure there is a required number of turns to achieve specific tension.

Yes, I meant to include a link to the carb assembly.


Did something in my post make you think I don't have a manual?

Nope,
We(forum) suggest manual to everyone just in case someone is new and doesn't know there is one available or that a membership may be bought to get help beyond normal "ask question thread".

No offense to your mechanical skills or knowledge. But I would think manual would of cover this section.

Are you referring to a shop manual?

yup,

Its outlines ea section with pictures and shows you step by step on how too.....

Thank you, captain obvious... I didn't know what a shop manual was until today.

You responded by saying "But I would think manual would of cover this section." Herein lies the problem... you assumed. If you are going to send me off to a manual, at least know your facts. Unless, maybe my manual isn't as fancy as yours.

I've been on this site just as long as you, I know how it works with new people. Dont let my post count fool you. Also, don't let your post count get over your head.

Jeb911, Let's just cool it with the attitude, Ocod is a trusted member of this forum, and yes the number of posts does count. It means that he has helped a lot more members of this forum than you have. So if you already know the answers to your questions then I suggest you don't ask.

:facepalm:

Its sarcasm.
I tried to help. You sound like you know what your doing.

Hope you find what your looking for.

wow, is that necc?
if you`ve been around this long then shouldn`t you know about repair`s? or am I assuming.
can`t we all just get along :cheers:

Technically, no, it wasn't necessary. I do apologize to ocod for my public display of attitude. I know he was just trying to help me. I wont go into the semantics of why I acted like I did. But, you could say that my frustration level with this carb is monumental. I also apologize to everyone else that read(s) this thread.


As for your question... Well, that's tricky. My comment wasn't related to how much knowledge I have about maintenance and repairs, it was to simply say I'm not a new guy.

ok, then, lets all start fresh.
Take a look at the other carb to visually see the orientation of the spring. The spring should not be overwound to cause binding. This is a known issue with fuel varnish causing the sticking throttle.
SBT does sell kits to replace the shaft assy...

I had 2 carbs, one on each engine have a sticking throttle where the shaft asy did not return under it`s own spring tension. after I was done cleaning the parts, they snap back nicely...

good luck, hope you get this resolved.:cheers:

as frustrating as it may be, be extra cautious when working on the carb, those small screws holding the throttle blade can strip or break...
