[QUOTE="Harald, post: 957329, member: 8054"] That's interesting because you're the first person I've read that tried the slow unwind to ensure only one turn, yet you ended up with the spring gap. I did the "pop it off the catch and let it whip around" method over 4 years and 60,000 miles ago and ended up with that same gap. Hearing others say that their spring still engaged the hook after the unwind led me to believe that maybe mine had done a double unwind, but now I'm not so sure. I too have a more lazy return to idle, but it hasn't bothered me or caused any problems. I'll ditto the suggestion to ensure the throttle tube is lubed, but using grease won't help because it's too sticky for the weakened spring. I use Dri Slide, which is a dry film lubricant. [/QUOTE]
