Hey guys,
The next in what seems like a never ending line of problems with this car has now surfaced. I'm going to try and explain it the best I can, but I'm not too sure of most of the terminology, and will probably be resorting to a workshop manual for most of it.
So the car has twin HS4's on it, the throttle linkage set up was previously a bit dodgy looking, it had a plate bolted under the outlet to the brake booster that had a 90 degree bend in the end of it with two tiny holes, these two holes were for the springs for the throttle return. This looked and always felt a bit dodgy and I couldn't find any springs that gave the pedal a decent feel, so I decided to buy the HS4 heat shield set up with the cross bar for the springs See: http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-par ... BF169.html
So when it arrived I felt like a king and went to go install it, it fit fine and looks like it does everything it was meant to. So I went to bolt he carby's back on when I realised I had a slight problem in the fact the the springs couldn't attach on to the carby and rotate to full throttle without wrapping themselves around the linkage bar.
So long story short I think I need a new "Throttle Lever" plate looking thing that is a bit different to the one I have.
I took a couple pictures hoping that the they may explain it a little better:
Fully open:
Fully close:
(I hope they're the right way round)
So what I think I need is a new plate with the holes for the springs in different positions, is this correct?
Does anyone know where I would locate such a part?
Thank-you for any help guys.
