Carb Spring Question

[CessnaTPA]

I have a H4 carburetor and wondering if I'm missing the spring that closes the butterfly valve on the rear carb? As you can see in the attached pic the front has a spring. Thanks

No. Spring is on front carb only. Once connected via the shafts they will both close together.

Thanks, salesman said it should have two springs, but wanted to check before I spent $40 on a spring and clip.

I have a few relatively detailed pictures of the above (and below...) if you think they'd be of any benefit. Naturally, the spring doesn't show up in any of the pictures, but to validate Jim, you can't see one on the rear carb either

Or any other page on the SU website might be of help

I noticed you and healey blue have a different bracket then me that the choke cable attaches to. When I use the choke I always have to keep the choke knob pulled to maintain full choke. Would you agree from my pic I have a home made bracket?

Hans thanks for the link, good info for when I rebuild my carbs.

The one in your picture does have more of a homemade air about it, but without consulting a parts manual or original literature, I can't make any claim as to what it should be; I do trust that the one on healey blue is the correct item though.

For complete disclosure, anytime you've seen me post pictures of a Longbridge 100/6 engine and ancillaries, it's the same one that's in the Healey that Jim did such a masterful restoration on for a mutual friend of ours. While Jim handled the chassis/body/interior work, the engine and xmsn was jobbed out to me.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the choke bracket like the one in Randy and Healeyblues pic? I've looked online with no luck.
