Chris;

 

I modified the spring to bring the throttle plate to roughly half open should the control connection fail.  I estimate that for my case that would result in something like 50-75% power.

I've got the throttle body, but I now have a question about the return springs.  Since it is an automobile throttle body, it is set to spring closed if the throttle cable fails.  Do I leave it that way, remove the srings totally so it fails in the curent position, or reverse the springs so it fails open?
