No i mean the govenor spring under the air filter and the other apring alongside that is working

Then the next question, which maybe should have been the first, is how hard is it to pull...?

Assuming its a newish qualcast made by husqvarna then the spring should go on the gearbox and then clip in a hole under the grass flap.
See attached pics.
It usually comes off because instead of letting the self propel work at its own speed, users usually push it faster than the self propel which then slackens the belt which takes tension off the spring which makes it pop off.
