I have a Bolens 550 model mower, but one of the governor springs has come off (the smaller of the two) and I can't figure out where it goes to put it back on. I've got the mower running after doing all the basic stuff- new clean plug, no grass on the underside (the whole thing is clean!), rebuilt the carb, clean gas tank and gas, oil change... it'll start, and run, but the idle is so low I still can't use it. Noticed the smaller governor spring lying on the deck the other day after putting the cover back on.

The model is an 11A-414A065, and it looks like it originally came from Lowe's. Kind of a bummer, as my grass will need cut soon, and funds are low for a new mower. Any suggestions? I can't seem to find anything out about this particular mower. I'll see if I can't post a picture of the motor tomorrow, since it's late, cold and very dark right now.
