OK, I went out in the garage and took some pictures that are relevant to your situation.

Happy Carting!

It looks like my spring IS still the problem....it does not look like one above and I did try removing kill wire with no difference. If my spring is bent (shorter than one above) wouldn't engine be revving out as soon as it starts??? It doesn't idle very low but it isn't pegged out either. Strange how my spring got bent as I was careful when I dis-assembled everything. The initial problem is that I found it lying on engine mounting plate and wasn't sure of correct installation. Thanks to all....new spring on the way and I'll go from there.

the spring looks fine. Connect it how i showed in the picture EXCEPT connect the top part where gocart spring is connected.

It does not have that long "slide" paper clip section though as in above spring...its bent into a triangle. See pics on first post, spring is hanging on kill wire.

one end will go through a hole on the gas tank throttle set up, the other will go on the governor arm. Trust me. Doesn't matter what your spring looks like, the same concept applies.

My issue is that I have tried it in every configuration without success. I am now thinking spring should look like "GoKarts" spring which is longer and would effect how the carb was controlled?? Sorry....first 5hp worked on.

Yup, you could probably straighten your spring to look like mine. The part that is bent at a hard 90 degrees, should be straight. Keep us posted.

Ok....so I bent spring to match above and attempted install. When tank is installled, H-notched bracket is ABOVE throttle arm and spring more or less flops around. I feel like it could just come off and it did a few times during re-assembly. I have never been so beat up by a Briggs repair....

Ok...slow progress being made. I installed spring as shown by Gocart and bent as his is. Engine still did not rev....I bent spring back to original shape and engine nows will rev some but hunts up/down constantly. With engine not running, if you press pedal to floorboard, carb opens to WOT. Is spring bend still not correct or do I now have ANOTHER problem? I did replace diaphragm on carb when I replaced base gasket. It also starts harder then it did before....

How about you posting us a picture of your installed spring so that we are certain that we are on the same page.

Is this your first carb rebuild or are you certain that it is done correctly?
