MG MG Y Type - Twin Carbs Return Springs

Does anyone know what tension should be applied to the carburettor shaft return springs on YT's ?.

I've searched all the manuals and the website, but can't seem to find a suggested setting.

I had mine set with 180 degress of tension, but it often does not return to idle after an extended high RPM run, but sits at 1200 RPM until I "blip" the throttle.

I have found some wear in the shafts & body, so they will be re-bushed next week, but what is the tension needed when it all goes back together ?.

cheers
