'58 R50 Throttle Issue

Random thought....is there a "return" spring inside the carb? There's supposed to be a spring at the end of the cable that hooks to the bottom of the slide. It's grayed out in this picture but it is #6:

Please read my original post that I edited with "THE FIX"......

I can't seem to figure out what you changed and what the fix it. Could you post again with specifics as to what you did? That way we have a beginning, middle, and end to the situation!! Thx....

Facing the rear of the bike, I rotated the gear and then installed the it 1.5 teeth rearward from the marks which took out the slack in the chain, which was there when using the factory timing marks for initial set up.

Make sense?

Thanks for that. It does make sense to over rotate one direction that as things slide into place, it rotates back to where it is supposed to be.
