Help Needed From Carb Experts II

[cruiser99]

OK, bought the rebuild kit (for 77 FJ40) and installed it. I was actually surprise to see that a rebuild kit is only a gasket set and a needle valve assembly, but that's another story. Anyway, installed the kit and everything looks OK. Still running rich but not flooding anymore.
The new problem I have is that the throttle sticks after I let of the gas pedal. It never sticks in idle or in first gear no matter how high I rev the engine. Only after 2 3 & 4 gears. In these gears if I press the clutch and coast to a stop, the engine keep revving for 5-10 second and then go to normal idle. Went over the mechanical linkages and I don't think it's the cause.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you put the throttle return spring back on? In the right place?

 

[IDave]

You have a return spring on the throttle lever? (ha, Pighead, simultaneous posts).

 

[Pighead]

Oh, so you've done that too, IDave?

Right now I have the one-barrel on my FJ45, but I don't have the standard solid linkage for it. I am using a jury-rig cable link setup. Well, since it never came that way, there's no illustration for me to look at. So when I set it up last week, and guess what: I had cruiser99's problem. Bought a hardware store spring for it Sunday and wound it around the oil filter bracket UBolt....

I got 2 springs from Ace and hooked em up on my 1 barrel, same s***, bootyfabed cable actaully its time for a new cable and springs, starting to stick again.

What is the right place? On my '73, the throttle return spring was connected to the upper shock mount! I can't quite figure out where it's supposed to go.

thats gotta be one loooooooooooooooooooooong spring

I have a bracket that fits on the two carb base bolts on the driver's side for my 9/70. It came with the deal (and could easily be lost) for just this purpose.

John, where did you connect the springs on your 1bbl? And why 2?

 

[cruiser99]

Spring is OK.
What's next?

 

[IDave]

Really? Spring is ok? Well, if you idle the engine and turn the throttle arm while it is running, gunning the engine by hand, does it spring back into place hitting the screw against the stop? Or is it slow to return?

Might want to check all your vaccum lines for a leak.

i have a big window 1 bbl, SD-40, and the spring is between the choke bracket and the point where the gas cable conects to the carb.

Wouldn't that tend to pull the throttle lever up, reving the engine, rather than work to return it? Any chance you can photo it for me?
