i already use return springs on some of my engines.
over time , as i reset up carb combos i've been adding them but i think a better idea will be just to backfit them all.
as simple as a pull back spring from the throttle lever to a good holding point can make or break your day.
years ago i took a turn around the pits with a stuck throttle and failed brakes.
the carb already had a spring looped and clipped into the carb cup but it got knocked off by someone helping start the engine.
that was a little to exciting for me!!
i drilled a more permanent hole into the cup and bent the spring in the hole so it's non removable.
zero problems since.
