Two light springs, one slightly stronger than the other and pulling from the opposite direction and on the opposite side of the throttle shaft, can help offset a throttle cable and a single spring's constant pull and wear on the throttle shaft bushings.

When properly sized and located, they help counter each others tendency to pull the throttle shaft into the bushing.

Some carbs have a return spring built into the throtle shaft.
