Throttle Return Spring and Bracket Photo?
« on: August 13, 2018, 06:24:15 PM »
I need a little help with the throttle return spring and bracket. GT-350H with autolite 4100. Anyone have a photo of the setup? I'm not sure my return spring bracket is positioned correctly on the intake. Thanks in advance. Denny

The return spring bracket would not be positioned on the intake. It is positioned on the carb stud. Not close to my picture files but good picture is in the Mannel book.

Thanks Bob, I found a photo in Mannel's book Chapter 6 Section C page 6-19. It looks like the bracket is installed on the back carburetor stud and facing backward, what's with the tab? It doesn't provide support to the bracket? Spring goes from there to the elbow on the linkage. Correct? Thanks, Denny

The tab is a stop to keep from extreme rotation . Yes on location of return spring as in picture.
