I assume you're talking about the secondary spring.
I just searched for 2 secs and found what I wrote about it last year....

Your secondaries are vacuum operated. You have a solenoid with a spring inside, when there is enough vacuum to move the spring (ie at high revs), the little arm underneath is actuated and opens the secondary barrels. Now, the resistance of the spring determines how much vacuum is required before the secondaries are opened.
Remove your air cleaner. Stand beside your car on the passengers side. The metal casing with 4 screws on the front right side of the carb is the one. Notice how there is a little arm underneath, which opens the secondary barrels. Now carefully remove the cover. Be careful of the gasket, don't break it!!! Now remove the spring and get out your clippers...
Be very careful cutting your spring!!! If you cut it too much, your secondaries will open too soon which feels shitty and uses a **** load of gas. I would recommend cutting no more than 2-3 coils. I cut 2 coils on mine, which feels about right to me.
It makes a *small* difference, basically your power surge comes on a little earlier. So you get a little better power at lower revs. But it's really not any kind of revolutionary mod.

On the front passenger side of your carb, its casing is held in by 3 or 4 screws. Its easier to get to if you take the air filer holder off (blue thing). Just take the screws out and look inside. There should be a spring in there and thats your target.
Yeah, Ive read that whole write-up (a few times
), and I never did it cause I lacked motivation. If I can just pop out the spring and get more performance without all the other work, Im all for it
