The spring comes around and hooks the lever that controls the throttle plate. I could cut the end of the spring and thread it through a short drilled bolt that I can pass through the lever. Bolt it into place like the brake line cable on a bicycle. -------------------- I just bent the spring again to thread back through a hole in the lever. I made a new lever to give the correct orientation to the throttle cable, and made it longer to give a greater throw (more controllable). Al
