  • Missing Throttle Spring

    I appear to have one (the one closest to carb but missing the other (outer spring) - anyone know of a suitable replacement/part number or sizing/Dorman equivalent? BJ's and Team GW do not list these, thanks

    They carry an assortment at the parts store in the help section.

      HELP! is a Dorman brand.

      I'd get the assortment and use whichever seems to work best.

          Thanks, yes, we have a local store which is my go to for nuts/bolt and they have a huge spring selection- Anyone know the rough diameter of the outer spring, the actual spring length separate from the spring loops? My inner spring (closest to carb) is actually two doubled up light springs - is this oem? Trying to be as accurate as I can be so I do not make too many trips to the store. BIG THANKS!
