Throttle body spring HELP PLEASE!

[Mark C.]

So yesterday as I was pulling trees out of the bush lot a piece of brush jumped out of nowhere and attacked my OC-3. :roll: , I found out  what to hold back to prevent the motor from winding out, holding it at a very low idle. But I cannot for the life of me figure out where to attach a spring, there are no simple spots that I can see. Can anyone help???
My parts book, owners manual, and sales lit. show me no picture, drawing that could help me.

Any help is appreciated,

Mark

Further Information.......I'm Sorry, but I forgot to say, My OC-3 Has been repowered with a Hercules Ixb-5. So i better ask, does anyone have any information on that model of engine.

Sorry About that!

Mark,

i'm not near my OC-46 at present, but if i remember correctly the only spring is for the choke.  the main throttle has no spring and is controlled by the governor.  the governor has a spring on it though that pulls the throttle OPEN (the governor pushes it closed).  my OC-46 has the 4 cyl gasoline Herc engine.

i don't know if this helps.

Same thing on my OC3, the spring goes from the L-shaped arm on the governer (not the Governator ) straight down to something hidden behind the Anderson dozer mount.
