Education thread

[Jay Darst]

Thanks Randy & Ralph!

Randy, I have updated tthe return springs using 2 springs with, what
seems to me, have an awful lot of return pressure.

I thought the old dual springs were contributing to my somewhat
sluggish throttle response, so removed one. Learned real quick when
I then engaged the high idle and it headed straight for Wide Open
Throttle, that you need the 2 return springs.

Seems this places quit a strain on things having some much spring
pressure..?

Ralph, I still don't find the transducer. Only thing I see is a
throttle cable coming from the cruise control board of crap.

Pictures anyone? Sure would like to slow down the high idle a bit.

Randy, I will add a 3rd return spring to see if it slows the high
idle as I know how and where to do that.

Thanks to both of you again!
