Grant_7 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi All,I fnd my throttle too light, with resultant kangarooing over bumps. Has anyone changed the throttle spring and if so, where did they find to purchase the new spring from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What model/engine are we talking about? I seem to remember that the early CSRs benefited from a stronger spring.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Can't help you there, I'm afraid. I'm familiar with Ks and Duratecs, but know little about Sigmas.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverSedlacek Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 On my old XFlow I just fitted an auxilliary (helper ?) spring. Mind you, there are plenty of levers and brackets on a pair of DCOEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klunk Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Had a similar problem with my Blackbird. I added a return spring to the throttle pedal as there was no way of attaching it to the throttle bodies. I just used a standard weber DCOE style throttle spring with one end attached to the pedal box and the other to the pedal. Giles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted February 14, 2015 Member Share Posted February 14, 2015 You're not alone and it's a really interesting control problem. The whole loop, including the driver's reactions, appears to be unstable and probably underdamped. Stronger springs seem to have helped some people.I'd start by checking that the operation of each bit, and especially the cable, is smooth and that the angles of the cable in the pedal box and at the throttle look right, especially at small throttle opening.The other trick that's been mentioned is leaning your R leg against the wall to create some damping in the loop.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
