Just completed this task, as always what I anticipated as easy was hard and vica versa . Replacing springs on throttle shaft, easy, caution, the shaft on which the springs are attached does rotate so the flat edge can just slot down onto the pump bracket, am guessing this is not desirable so I corrected it. Inserting the new shaft, into new bush with new o ring was difficult, I ended up cutting a section of the old bush to place over top of new shaft protruding through casing and using a large washer tightened the nut to pull the shaft though, Attaching the throttle bracket pulled the shaft home. Finding the right oring in the kit was a gmable two matched but only one is accurate as is slightly thinner, be cautious the £25 odd kit is for 1 oring, you have 1 shot. Anything i have wrong please correct me, but all is working, running fine and no leaks....happy days,...now for the head gasket. Once again excellent write up.
