Title: Return spring fitting to carbs
Post by: petergalileo on December 10, 2005, 17:10:15

My local Land Rover club requires the fitment of a return spring to the carbs, I assume to make sure the engine revs return to idle if theres a break in the throttle cable or an accident.  

Has anyone done this ? How is it done ? I am assuming its just a matter of bodging some sort of spring on the rods at the back of the carb ?

Thanks
