I finally lost something important that I don't have an extra for. I am missing the bracket on the front timing cover that the throtle spring attaches to. Does this have a specfic name and where can I find one? I would rather not fab one, and want to keep that original look.

You can use mine while you look for one if it helps get you on the road.

I'd fab one up until I could source out an original piece.

You don't need it. I haven't used mine in months. The pump has a spring built in.

X2, you got the spring on the pump and the spring on the throttle linkage to bring the throttle back. Only need a spring on the TV cable. I like the less throttle resistance anyway. My spring that mounted up there fell off sometime, if you need mine let me know.

I could see that "built in" spring coming unhooked or even breaking and then getting yourself into trouble.

Id just make a bracket.

I would check over that spring REALLY well, as mine was worn to the point it was ready to break at any time. Just a suggestion
