Throttle Return Spring?

(Bear with me guys - I'm trying to post a picture with this question

Okay - I have had this Navigator for a year or so. The throttle pedal has very little resistance and if not careful starting up (especially on loose gravel) all four wheels start scratching.

The only throttle return spring I can find is the spring coiled around the throttle body shaft. I do see two places where maybe a regular return spring might go. (See the picture below of the throttle linkage.)

Can anyone confirm if there is supposed to be another spring in there?

There should be a throttle return spring there. Here is a pic of how it is on my truck. It is a 2v rather than the 4v in your truck but I would think it would be similar.

Thanks Chris. (And nice photo work also )

That doesn't look like a generic spring - prolly a dealer item?

(I have a few more pics of items I need help with, but I'll start another thread.)

I would go to the hardware store with some rough measurements and an idea of what you'll need and buy a few springs. I'm sure you can find something that will work.

I'd just go to the dealer and get the right one, or at least pull one out of a junkyard.
