[QUOTE="Kurt2004FJR, post: 394672, member: 1638"] First remove the gas tank. This is necessary in order to get access to the throttle shaft. Second get a nylon tie about 8" long, and about 3/16" wide, cut off one end and use a small punch to put a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the throttle return spring wire near the cut end. Third curl up the nylon tie - wrap around a finger or whatever - and then insert the curled tie around the spring pushing it from the rear, underneath and around over the top, then hook the hole in the tie on the spring (actually goes on quite easily). Fourth gently pull the nylon tie and the spring will rewind - might need to use a small screw driver to make sure the spring reattaches at the proper spot. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
