Q: Is this spring compatible with all Clone engines?
A: This spring is specifically designed for Clone engines utilizing a top plate linkage setup. It is a direct match for the Ducar CL-1231 specification.
Q: How do I know if my throttle spring needs replacing?
A: If you notice your throttle pedal feels sluggish, fails to return to the idle position immediately, or if the spring shows signs of rust, stretching, or fatigue, it should be replaced immediately to maintain safe operation on the track.
Q: Can I use this spring with a stock air box setup?
A: This spring is intended for use with engine top plates. If you are running a stock air box, ensure your linkage geometry allows for the proper tension and travel required by this specific spring.
