Hi Everyone,

First time poster.
Have a Sanli Redback that is missing what I think is the return spring. Might be some bracketry missing as well. The problem is I have not been able to find a photo anywhere on the web showing the proper arrangement. I have attached a couple of photos but would love some advice on whats missing and where it goes? Surely someone out there must have a photo? Sanli and most of the dealers I have spoken to are next to useless.

Thanks in advance.

Very hard to know the Chondas vary so much from one to another

Hi Ausmow and Norm,

Some main butterfly throttles will open to the left and some to the right.

It's definitely missing brackets and linkages you can make them or just swap the parts from another mower.

They operate the same even if they look a little different.

looking at that choke I think there is a good chance this has been left out in the weather or it has had ethanol fuel in it. I haven't seen the choke butterfly rusted like that before so something has been going on there

Looks like it's missing a spring.

I think the spring more than likely goes here but without seeing the length it's best guess.

On the other side of the brackets where you can't see the spring is where it goes .

Hi Norm yes that image you looked at was an old engine I left in the rain for scrap. It was just to show that linkage from another motor
could be swapped over.



Cheers

Hi Ausmow, Max and all. It's as max has it in the second pic. The anti oscillation spring is there and in it's correct place. The governor spring ids what's missing and it goes from the back to the loop in the linkage as max has highlighted.
It's a fairly light gauge spring as most of them are. Remember that this is a fixed speed machine so you'll have to make your own from another one and stretch or shorten as required to get it revving right.
The spring you require is NLA
