38 striker carb?? spring

[stan2520]

I bought a new 38 striker carb for my 350 pv lrd motor.. the thumb throttle is hard to push, any help on maybe a different spring so it would be easier to push??

Don't cut the spring lengthwise! Take the spring off and slide it over a pencil then take it to a grinder and thin the coils moving back and forth. This will thin the coils making it pull easier!

i would check the cable as well... also i have a 200X spring in my 20 PWK and its like a hot knife in butter... really smooth...

That's odd. Have you checked your cable and throttle housing yet? Second thing I might try would be to rub a little premix on the slide. If that didn't work, then, I might get drastic with the spring.

its a new cable..

try taking the spring out and seeing how hard the slide is to pull. if its still even slightly hard then u need to lube the cable and internal throttle parts.
