hi, I took my carb' off to get my cous' to check it , needle etc. and when I came to put it back on it located and fixed ok, except I know the pedal return spring fits onto the manifold but where on the carb does the other end fix ? also the accelerator cable is pushed through the pin on the carb and the nut is tightened up how much slack should I take up or should it tighten the nut once the pedal return spring is fixed on. I forgot to make a note of the exact positions of the cable and spring so some help would be great, One day I'll get my thinking head on and everything will be ok.

OK I now know but would I be ok to put the spring on the pin first and then adjust the cable by pulling up the excess from the pedal and then tightening the nut to clamp the cable ? bearing in mind that if I do that then there will be no play between the pedal and cable.
I think it's just 'new' - looks about right strength. But the excess cable should be tucked round away from the spring - otherwise it can 'catch' the spring on release and cause a high idle speed.

Mike - I thought the same thing as it looked considerably different than the one I replaced. But it was purchased as a throttle return spring and it certainly works well enough.
BMC - thanks for that - I'll tuck it away.
