The potential problem/danger is WHEN the connection breaks away from the engine throttle arm. Without the spring, it will not automatically return to idle/kill position.
I agree and the spring keeps the viabration from wearing throttle parts. I would like to see some real evidence of how many servos go bad. I am sure not many at all. Capt,n
I don't think I have ever heard anyone say a servo failed because of a carb spring. I fly with some guys that have flown gas for many, many years and never heard them say anything about one failing - at least because of the spring pressure.
