Throttle Return Springs
Throttle Return Springs
Stop throttle creep!
A common complaint about the Rotax 912/914 engines is that the throttle return springs are too strong. McFarlane stocks a variety of springs so you can choose the one that best fits your application. All McFarlane throttle controls for Rotax engines include P/N 7140 springs.
Unique hook design for left and right applications provides for better fit and retention.
- New design limits potential contact with adjacent parts
- Less than half the strength of the original stock Rotax springs
- Tailored for Rotax engines, including the Vans RV-12 aircraft
- Prevents throttle "creep" due to excessive return spring force
- Requires 1 per carburetor (2 per engine)
| Spring P/N | Relaxed Spring Length (max in) | Approx. Pre Load (lbf) | Spring Rate (lbf/in) |
| 6822, Red, Left | 1.6 | 1.5 | 2.1-2.7 |
| 7235, Blue, Right | 1.6 | 1.5 | 2.1-2.7 |
| Rotax Original | 1.8 (approx.) | 2.0 | 8-12 (approx.) |
Note: Installer is responsible for determining whether this spring is an appropriate substitution for their application. For use on non-certified aircraft.
