i took my carbs off for cleaning and need to connect/set the choke spring. It is separate from the carb connected with a linkage. The carb is a Rochester Quadrajet and matted to a 330hp 454 Merc. My main question is, do I wind up the spring before connecting it to the linkage and if so, how tight do I wind it? One of the springs look stretched as I was not aware of the linkage when taking the carb off. The last inch looks to be straightened out.

if you stretched it that much , just replace it . Called a choke stove
