This is how I have had mine assembled





I'm going to put it back together with the correct spring in it since I managed to find the one I lost originally and see if that was all that was causing me grief.

Yep you have it right, that was my problem I assume, I don't know what else it could have been. Hope you get yours worked out.

Put it back together with the original top hat spring and it seems to be back to working correctly. Guess these things are a little more precise than I figured

And it is soooo much easier to just pop the throttle shaft out of the housing to hook up the spring versus trying to leave it in and stretch the spring over and hook it on then it not hooking and sending the top hat bits off into oblivion.

Your right about That, removing the throttle shaft completely makes is 1000 times easier.

I've had mine in for like a month now and I'd have to say it is the single best mod I've made so far considering it only cost $20.

Yeah I like mine, I never put one on my other first Gen that had an hx40 and pods and this one already feels about as quick and I haven't done any real fuel mods. Those extra rpms really help.

I also gave it a lot more throttle travel which helps a ton also.

Grab some string. Loosen the allen head bolt on the throttle shaft. Hook the string to the spring that hooks around the lever. I can attach/detach the spring in seconds. Hell, I went through similar problems after my 3200rpm spring install, still not convinced I have everything right but sure learned how to r and r the throttle shaft spring.
