fixed, but

Hey Rob,
i did as you told and the port side engine did not reach the limiter screw, so i adjusted it. But now if i put both throttles flat out the spring on the pump is strong enough to pull it back by a quarter. Do i need these springs connected or can i just leave them out? If i go to idle on the helm, both levers on the pump get pushed by the controlcables in the idle position with or without the spring.
thanks, oliver
