jpnret New Guy J Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 23 Colorado	I have a 52 Chevy 3800, 216 engine with Rochester single barrel carb. I purchased and installed new Choke and Throttle cable assemblies. My problem is that the accelerator return spring will not allow the throttle cable to remain in the pulled state. As soon as I release the throttle cable knob, it returns to the dash. What am I missing? Thanks, Jim
