B&S Intek 206, 5.5 hp won't start

Trying to figure out if I've lost a spring or mechanism controlling the amount of gas going to carburetor. The external speed control lever arm doesn't seem to be attached to the carburetor. I don't have a diagram and I can't seem to find one on-line. Thanks for any help you could offer. I have spark and it will run on a shot of starter fluid.

Lawnmowerman2, thanks for responding. I think the governor spring is there, but I don't have a picture or a diagram that describes what should be there. There is a connection to the carburetor body. It looks like #10 wire sized piece of metal with a spring wound around the outside. I don't see the speed control lever with any attaching springs.

Lawnmowerman2 & pugaltitude, thanks for responding. I will try to send a couple of photos with this email. I think you are telling me the fine wire spring should connect to the speed control lever (photo 1)

The tiny wire spring, what does it do?. It runs parallel to/over the connector to the same points that connector does on both ends,,,or is mine incorrectly connected?

Attached find an image of mine. I am not sure if it is correct.
