Bob you know the man that said I did not need a kill switch. His place is on North May. He said it was just something else that could go wrong. Not bad mouthing him it all. He has been a lot of help to me over the last 20+ years. But he did talk me out of it on my first gasser.

Yes the spring is just unhooked not removed for the throttle arm. Like you I could not see the plus side to having a load on the servo at all times. If it helps center the shaft than so be it. Not much of a load anyway.
