hey i was looking on the rincon forums and i saw that people have been clipping their carb spring in half for beter performance...can we do that with our FORMAN 500's? anyone have any idea...cuz it would be a good mod..from wut i hear...thanks
I dont know, I was just reading about it on HL and one guy says it only works on the rincons but it might be worth picking up another spring and giving it a try.
Well I couldnt stand it anymore so I decided to be the ginny and went and cut my spring but it did it 1/4 inch longer than half and yes it does make a difference in throttle response. Very good and easy little mod.
I did it on my 04 last night and it does make a difference. As for your throttle return it is just fine, just like normal. I dont know about the 13 coils but the spring is 4 1/2 inches long and I cut 2 inches off. Hope this helps ya.
Ya thats right, I just went out and counted the 2 inches I cut off and its 13 coils. If ya have a tape just measure 2 inches and if not count your 13 including the 4 that are stacked together at the top and then 9 down.
Come on now Carl, I already did it. Plus if it doesnt do anything for you or you can't tell a difference then it aint gonna hurt anything leaving it cut.
