Hi Everyone, cant believe my first post is a cry for help

Being new to the black fuel 1600td motor in my Doka i noticed the big ugly 8 inch throttle return spring didn't quite pull the arm back on to its stop so removed it as it left a gap of about 2mm, rewound the return spring (so now it removes fingers if careless) to sit on the stop screw, and of course the engine has gone from a lovely starter to a - starts with foot on the pedal flat for about 10 secs then dies, wont rev, wont do anything, alternator light doesn't go off either

Up till i fixed what wasn't broken it started first time, 30 sec relay delay, and would idle away to itself happily and i coukd drive happily

What have i done as undoing this and going back hasn't helped either

I did notice the battery was flat so charged it up and that's made no difference

any advice welcome 
 

i had this once the spindle that goes through the centre had turned when not looking if it has a slot for a screwdriver so if you turn it i think left it should be back to normal.

Thanks bud will give it a try as driving me nuts

Top man!!!

Sorted me right out, fires up now thankfully and all is well in the world

Think that slots for alignment as couldn't find a thin enough screwdriver to fit but was able to position it and get the arm on and locked into place

Thank you again, I owe you one
