Hi All,
In the process of working on my '83 Nikki carb I have somehow managed to bend both the Throttle Return Spring Lever and the Throttle Sub-Return Lever on the throttle arm assembly. (Part numbers 145 and 148 from the Mazda Carb manual).
I'm hoping someone with Nikki experience can take a look at the pics below and confirm (or deny) that both of the bent arms should be pointing straight upward (in the orientation I have the levers sitting). This would correspond to pointing directly toward the body of the carb when assembled on the throttle arm:

Throttle sub-return spring lever:


Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Yes, they should be pointing straight up in the orientation you have them

 

Thanks for the confirmation

I've carefully bent them back straight and have everything reassembled at this point.
