Greetings,
I have a Snapper 21" Hi-Vac self-propelled. It has a Tecumseh TVXL-840 5HP 2-cycle engine. For 18 years it has been trouble free, so no complaints. My problem is:
Today, a spring on the carb broke. I've got a replacement part on the way (Tecumseh P/N 490307, Throttle Link Spring) but cannot for the life of me figure out where it connects on the carb assembly. One end appears to sit in a notch on the Governor lever, but where does the other (carb) end connect? When the current spring failed, it failed at the hook on carb end, and the other end (governor lever end) came free as well. The spring wraps around the governor link (the connection rod between the governor and the butterfly actuator). However, I am uncertain where the ends of the spring will connect when the repair part arrives.
Thanks,

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated; verbal description, illustation, web link or knowledge via osmosis -- all greatly appreciated.
