Weedeater WE261 Problem

[philadelphia1]

Hello Folks,

I am working on a neighbors Weedeater riding mower and cant figure out why clutch/brake pedal has no tension whatsoever. I can't find a tensioner on the cable itself and notice there is a lot of slack in the cable. The cable isn't broke or connected to any kind of pulley. I was hoping someone here has worked on one of these? Again, there is no spring in the pedal and a lot of slack in the cable the pedal is limp. Nothing in the parts diagram immediately jumps out at me as to what the problem might be...Any information is greatly appreciated!!

I did see the exploded view and like I mentioned, nothing immediately jumps out at me as to what the problem might be.:confused2:

Broken spring?

Broken spring?

I Just got done looking at the exploded view again and I am thinking that would be the most logical thing other than a broken cable....Right? (and i know the cable is fine)

Yep that was my thought.
