i rember a light spring on my carb when i removed the engine over 6 months ago. i hooked the carb up to the engine that is now in the car along with all the throttle linkage. i press on the gas peddle and it doesnt feel right. it feels like it it is way to easy. is this because there is no vacume or because im using a spring for the throttle thats way too weak.

 

Are you sure you have the spring located in the right place?

 

There should actually be a double spring,1 light,1 slightly heavier.

where should it be locaded. on the part of the carb where the throttle linkage goes and where else?

 

You did not mention what year or type of carb you have. If this helps I have a photo I took before I took off my carb that shows the linkage and the spring. It is a 67 289 with a two barrel carb. I have found that it has been helpful to use my digital camera to take photos before dissasembly.
