Throttle Return Spring
Hello everyone,
While driving today, my accelerator pedal unexpectedly got super light, like something had snapped. Further inspection showed that a spring that was used to keep the throttle back. I didn't see how this was supposed to be installed when properly done so I put it back the way it was (I had pictures that led me to that solution). I've been doing quite a bit of searching on google and none of the pictures I've looked at even appear to have this spring on it. my question is, was it supposed to be there in the first place and if so, how is it supposed to be attached?
