Question….

I noticed on the last video that you don’t use a spring from the throttle bar centre bracket back to the body …as a return spring.

I have my new Type 4 2 litre motor with 40 Webers ,in and thumping.

The current setup has the return spring fitted ,however it does make the accelerator pedal a bit heavy going.

Should I be able to run without the return spring ala Buddy’s  bus

Hey Kim, there are secondary return springs on Buddy’s engine…I put one on each of the carburetors, a little spring between the air filter base and throttle shaft.

That way we avoid putting spring pressure through the linkage bar.

Thanks Franz. That’s a great innovation.I’ll give it a try.

Is the top of the spring held by a split pin through the base of the air filter ?

…..you know the deal

detail ,detail ,detail !
