Throttle Springs

Hooking up the throttle linkage....Do I need to use both springs in parallel or just one spring?

Always run two springs in some way. If one breaks you will really appreciate the other one. It there for safety.

its two springs, one is smaller than the other so it fits right in the center. the two springs hook to the same holes
