Re: Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Spring

I do notice a difference in time for the engine to warm up and run smoothly when I wire the valve closed and then open it once the carb choke plate fully opens. So I'd like to get this back to original.

I bought a new spring from Max for $35. It is quite a bit different than the 'generic' one I bought for less than half the price. Question for those that have played with these before: The 'tang' in the center ofthe spring is very long compared to the shallow slit in the heat riser shaft. I hate to butcher something I just spent $35 on, but it looks like I need to snip this tang down so it will go into the slot? I'm debating cutting the shaft all the way through to make this easier, but wondering if others have had a go at this and have some advice.

thanks
