Throttle spindle assembly help? And spindle seals direction?
Turbo Mini Forums

Im having a bit of difficulty remembering how the whole assembly with the springs and levers go back onto my carb. Do they have to face certain ways when the throttle disc is facing a certain way etc.

Is there any diagrams or pictures on how they are assembled.

Also what way round do the throttle spindle seals go in? Does the opening face inwards toward the carb?

Many thanks

James.

Cheers mate. I have been looking at that but still confused.lol I did however find some pictures i took when taking it apart. Not great but its a start.lol

Anyone have an idea about what way the seal on each side of the spindle should face?

There is an open end and a closed end to each seal? the diagram in haynes says the open end should face in the way and the burlen picture says they should face open end out the way? Im confuzzled.

The flat side faces the outside of the carb. (Turbo only)

Ahh, nice one. Thats the way i had them.

Cheers
