[QUOTE="Fred H., post: 153448, member: 2059"] [IMG]https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/image/62077860/large.jpg[/IMG] In the above photo you can see the resting point of the end of the spring when it is released one turn and the throttle is at idle. You can clearly see there is a gap between the spring hook end and the tab. As you pick the throttle up off idle, the loop should engage the tab and hold the spring in position. Without seeing how the wire caused the throttle to stick for myself, I am not sure what happened, but it does appear that it is possible that the end loop of the spring could migrate off the tab and cause binding between the loose end of the wire loop and the throttle pulley. An easy solution would probably be just to reach in with some needle nose pliers and crimp the loop onto the tab so it couldn't come off, though I not sure how easily the wire can be bent. There may also be other effective ways to fasten the end of the loop to the tab so it can't come free and cause binding, but my first try would probably be to just bend the end of the loop down to close it around the tab.
