I am thinking of getting some weaker springs for my v50 carbs, are there three grades ? ie standard, medium and weak, or just standard and weak ? do they make a difference..

I bought the weakest springs for my V65, but they didn't make a huge amount of difference.
My V65 has a 1 into 2 throttle cable arrangement, whereas my Lario has two separate cables. The Lario has a much lighter throttle action. I looked at a V65TT recently which had two separate cables and it also had a light throttle action. A small sample of two but maybe consistent? In addition, I found a previous owner had cut the slide springs down by about 1cm on my Lario. I did the same on my V65 as the throttle was just so heavy. That made a much greater improvement to the throttle action. I know you're not supposed to cut the springs, but I have not found any problems in doing so. ta stuart

Spoke to eurocarbs and they can`t help, my carbs are VHBZ`s and they only stock standard strength springs, so unless i can get my hands on a used pair from someone it looks like i will have to put up with it, or cut some down ? not keen on that i don`t think..

Others have cut them down with good effect.
