On the SUs on my car, there are SIX total return springs!
1: One on the gas pedal.
2: One on the linkage between the carbs.
3,4: Two on the linkages between the center linkage and the throttle shafts.
5,6: Two on the throttle shafts themselves.
Talk about redundancy!
Actually the system is quite well designed, in my opinion.
But you have to make sure that all the various linkages
have the right clearances...
