Spring attached to carb diaphragm

by James Stricker in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 9 years ago

Why is there a spring stretched from the carburator diaphragm housing to the cylinder head? Seems kinda weird...

I wonder if the spring acts as a ground wire because the rubber boot is insulated?

I believe it supports the carburetor to take the stress off the boot. Supposed to be stretched so the spring is 40 mm center to center per Rotax.

Yes it is there to help in supporting the carb , instead of just the rubber flange.
