Bill is 100% correct, in your photo it is backwards. The 78-84 Chrysler looper 6/7.5/8hp models I’ve been messing with all use the Walbro LMB carbs with that spring. No matter how careful you are, it is always guaranteed to fling itself across your shop when you pull out the pin! 😮 The manual has a page for best practice when re-installing it – I will try to scan and post it tomorrow night for you.
The manual doesn’t explain what its actual purpose is – frankly 1/2 of the motors I have were missing that spring and I can’t see any difference in how they run now that it is replaced. You’d think it would impact the float height, but I can’t tell any difference in the performance, idle, etc……
