How do you determine what size throttle return spring?
440 six barrel. I'm trying to figure out what throttle return spring(s) I need to use. I had a purple spring and a small silver one from a universal kit. Had went for a drive, peddle felt firm and seemed to be right. When I hit 2nd gear, normally the tires would bark loudly. This time, the outboards kicked in at just the right time and tires started spinning. Let off the pedal and it stayed spinning for a little longer. The springs weren't strong enough to pull the throttle closed.
Now, I've got a thicker yellow spring but the pedal is hard to push. It's a new spring. Will it loosen up? Do I need to try different ones?
Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.
