LYNN HADDOCK ASKED ME TO POST THIS:
"Recently, all the major modern karting organizations have adopted a new rule that mandates all carbs (except slide valve type) employ an auxiliary throttle return spring. This was done in response to several incidents and injuries. This extra spring is designed to return the shutter to the closed position in the event the primary carb spring fails.

At this stage, the VKA has not taken any official action on this situation, but I thought it would be appropriate to show a few of the available solutions in the interest of safety. Other solutions should be acceptable as long as the solution will close the throttle in the event the primary throttle return spring fails." LYNN HADDOCK
