Stiff throttle spring

I had the throttle cable in the hole that is used by the TV correcter bracket and the throttle was ridiculously stiff. After a new tranny and full manual valve body i removed the bracket and put the stud in the top small hole right behind the big hole and WOW what a DIFFERENCE! It works correctly now, so if you can I highly recommend using that hole or the big hole with a bushing setup. The change in leverage is all you need.

Yep.....

I only recommend a bushing and use the big hole.  Especially if using a rod style throttle linkage.

Has anyone tried taking the springs loose on the primary and secondary shaft and replacing it with the old style spring in a spring  throttle spring? It seems this would provide redundancy for safety purposes.
