I'm finishing up the rebuild of the AFB 3588S for my R2 Hawk. The choke rod end is slotted with a "pre-load" spring ( pic on the right), which doesn't match the shop manual illustration - or the 3506 from my R1 Avanti ( pic on left). The loose end of the spring looks like it wants to wrap around the end of the connecting rod - but holds the choke closed too tightly to properly operate.
I disassembled the carb for cleaning too quickly, and too long ago now, to remember how it was originally mounted. My first question - is this slotted end of the choke rod even correct for this carb? If so, how's the loose end of the spring attach so it properly functions? If it's not, I suppose I could swap it out with the one of the other carb ( which was replaced by an edelbrock 1406 10 years ago).
thx!
