Yes and No.
Yes, The new McFarlane 6822 are supposed to replace those springs which tended to break. They also have the benefit of lower tension. My original Rotax springs were about 7 lbs tension at idle (at 64 mm length). My new 6822 springs are about 2 lbs tension at idle length and this does reduce the tendency for the throttle to creep.
Where did you get your springs? I could not find #0002 springs on Van's website.
