Here are pics to explain things better. I pulled the carbs to clean/inspect for a service order and putting it back together, I can’t remember how this spring goes back on! Hence my plea for assistance!
The last picture shows how the choke flaps are staying partially shut when I let off the key switch/choke solenoid. I suppose they would probably just open up once the motor is running but it needs to be done right.
I believe the center hole on the spring goes around the little plastic keeper on the left brass hardware, and the hook loops under it to set it in place. The ‘arm’ of the spring reaches over the choke flap brass piece and tensions it back down to swing the flaps open when you let off the key. But when I put this on in this configuration, it doesn’t do it’s job. It was working when I pulled it apart, so I’m missing something here.
