That's great!!! Thank you very much. That's a tremendous help! On the right track now, keep moving forward. Cheers!
I got just the ticket for you and an illustration I nabbed off the web.
What you need is a decent return spring and a bracket that holds it as you see below.
The key item is the clevis that comes with the throttle kit that Colt 1911 showed you. That's the only specialized item you need.
It's attached to the end of the throttle cable with a set screw but it's connected to the governor control lever (that rotates in the semi-circular cutout) with the cotter pin/split pin inserted from behind. The return spring is then hooked around the pin. Remember to disconnect the factory
kill wire--you don't need the engine dying every time you get off the throttle...
Of course you will be switching to stranded throttle cable and not the solid wire that's on the leaf blower now.
I think I found this photo off of the old forum. Don't know who to credit for it.
