Throttle return spring 911SC

Throttle Return spring 911SC /3.0 CIS [long spring]

After my rebuild of the throttle linkages for my SC – new bronze bushings – new throttle rod ball cups – new throttle return springs – it’s time to put everything back together.

Most everything went back without any issue – but one part – the long throttle return spring that connects the bell crank in the engine compartment with the anchor point under #2 intake manifold. It is the quintessential – brain surgery inside a phone booth.

I am asking for advise from Pelicans who have replaced this spring – for their elegant technique – process to affix the spring.

What side goes in first? The end under #2 intake or the throttle lever end?

Did you have to remove any of the intake manifold or the warm up regulator to gain access to affix the spring?

My understanding is that the long end of the spring connects to the throttle lever end- is this correct?

I’m currently using a couple of long hemostats to try to position the spring

The more I examine the limited access with the warm up regulator in place - the more I'm thinking I have to pull it to get decent access to the attachment point under #2 intake
