you can go to an auto parts store and get a spring or a hardware spring, hook it up to the servo arm or the throttle arm and hook it up somewhere else on the rc so that if the power is off, it closes the carb, doesnt have to be super tight, just a back up to close the carb.

If you use too heavy (strong) of a spring, will it hurt the servo?

it shouldnt, just make sure its not struggling too much to open the throttle, make sure its set just tight enough to close the throttle.
