Throttle bodies - missing spring
Cheffy - 18/10/08 at 03:24 PM

Hi,

I've just seperated my GSXR throttle bodies to space then out ready to mount them to the ST170 manifold. I thought I was being very careful, but after I'd seperated them I found two small springs on the bench and am trying to identify where they came from.

Am I right in thinking that they fit between the tabs between each body that operate the butterflies as in the photo below.

If so I've lost one!

These aren't my throttle bodies by the way, just a photo that showed what I wanted Thanks to whoever's they are!

Mine are in the atic but I am sure there is only meant to be one spring.

Blimey, that was quick!

Time for a fingertip search of the workshop floor then

Bigwasa - I assume one spring between the first two bodies, another between bodies 2 & 3, and a third between bodies 3 & 4.

Thanks,

Martin.

sorry it was the way I read it.

A magnet may help.

If you want I'll take a pic of mines (not assembled by me) and email it to you,

I thought I recognised the kitchen worktop!
