MFI throttle return spring?
Does anyone know where to get the throttle return spring that sits on throttle cross shaft (left hand side) of an MFI linkage? I have three systems and on two of the systems the spring is broken. I have temporarily fixed the problem by affixing a spring between the linkage that goes to pump and my air intake assembly, which works to return the shaft back to fully closed but this configuration is only temporary as the spring will fatigue and loose tension.

Did you try a dealership? It may still be available as a part.

Does anyone have a picture of this spring in position that they can post. My linkage struggles to return to the closed position, and I suspect this could be my problem. I had thought there was an internal spring in the MFI pump that performed this function , but an external spring seems to make more sense. I just can't see where it's supposed to go.
My 3 month restoration is nearing completion after 12 months , and this is one of the niggly problems that I need to sort out! |
