Tyrone Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Has anyone got a photo showing the relationship between the DCOE linkage, the spring and the Caterham Y bracket under the carbs. I took my carbs off to replace burnt out wiring and when I put everything back I can't seem to fit the spring in a position where it works or where it doesn't foul the throttle cable.

kenny. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Do you mean this return spring? http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp243/lotusman/IMG_0964_zps10f6266b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yes, that's the one. It's not the clearest picture though Kenny, so it isn't helping! 😬 I've just read some old threads on the internal spring failures. If I change to 2 external springs I assume the linkage spring is retained? Pictures of that set up would be appreciated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonboylaw Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This one may help a little if you can zoom in a bit. here http://thumb0.webshots.net/t/96/96/8/60/29/2197860290103159900YBMDBt_th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks Jonathan, there are a couple of photos there which help. For some reason my Y bracket is very close to the chassis rail and I think I've put the spring in upside down. Back in the garage tomorrow then.
