Ira:
I use a pair of original throttle return springs on my stock BJ8. Over =
the years, I have fooled around with various coil springs, ballpoint pen =
springs, etc. =E2=80=93 nothing works as well for me as what I use. The =
bottom end of the springs are hooked around the hydraulic pipe right =
below the carbs =E2=80=93 should be the same on the BT7 as the BJ8. The =
top end is hooked around the cotter pin that secures the cable fitting =
to the choke arm. The tension seems to be just about right =E2=80=93 if =
you go to a drilled hole on the inner fender, it will be too tight and =
you=E2=80=99ll have to go to a weaker coil spring like the factory / =
dealers did.
I also bent the lower spring hook around the pipe so that it will stay =
on when disconnected for carb / choke / air cleaner service.
Doesn=E2=80=99t look exactly elegant, looks sort of original, works like =
a damn for me.
I can try and get a couple of pics for you later today =E2=80=93 the car =
is not yet stored away for the winter.
