Nuts!!! Where does this spring go?

[TimW]

Clymer calls it the "manual choke spring". It is part of the manual choke mechanism located on the port side of the carburetors on my 1972 Johnson 100hp. <br /><br />Clymer has a nice exploded view of the manual choke but no clear pictures of it assembled.<br /><br />Can anyone tell me where both ends of this thing go, or post a pic of it?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help.

My book shows that the spring one end goes under the screw that holds that plate you got pictured on.<br />Then it lines up toward the long slot when you put the little round choke bar thru it (the slot)<br />the other end of the spring slips over it<br />hope this helps

okay...so the one end goes under the screw like this...<br /><br />

<br /><br />The other end hooks over the brass knob that moves the choke plates?
