Question on the spring idea. I saw a post a while back that mentioned installing a spring to pull back the servo in case of servo failure. Question is would the spring not be a great deal of stress on the servo which could in return cause the failure of it? You would need a pretty tuff spring to pull back a high torque servo, or would it only need to pull it to neutral?

i don`t think they meant on the servo but on the throttle rod so it returns the card to idle!

you have to attach it to your carb linkage, not the servo..... set the spring up to close the carb/ choke it out if the servo fails or power loss

PICS???
Sorry, where would I connect it too? and again would not the servo need to pull back the spring for the spring to pull back the failed servo? I must be missing something.[]
