Bike carbs on Zetec

HI Guys,

After getting my carbs setup yesterday on the Fiesta i'm having trouble with the throttle not returning properly so i guess it needs a stronger return spring or an additional return spring adding.

Has anyone had this issue before and if so how did you sort it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I had exact same issue and solved it like this in the pic. Mine is 1.8 Zetec with Kawasaki ZZR carbs.

It's actually quite a common issue and I've posted this pic quite a few times, the link below should take you to a bunch of threads on this subject. See under "Threads linked to this photo".

Hope that helps....





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Thanks chief.

Mine's actually a bit different as it actuates on the end of the carbs with the round linkage that normally would have the 2 bike cables in it.



I'll try to post a pic later.

Thanks
