Doodlebug 97cc throttle linkage.

#1
I have this , 97cc that originally came off my Doodlebug. Recently I decided to fix it up and slap it in another frame. I got it all cleaned up and back together today and I want to make sure my throttle linkage is correct.

The spring from the throttle arm to the governor arm is always compressed and bent when the throttle is closed.

Throttle return spring taken off one side to show the back spring better.

Connection from carb to governor arm.

Pulling the throttle return spring down a little so you can see how the other spring is compressed when the throttle is back to closed.

Lastly, I noticed that it only takes 1/3 of the entire throttle arm travel to open the carb butterfly 100% is that normal?

thanks!
