Hi. I have a spring that was hanging disconnected when I got this mower. Are there any diagrams out there that will show the correct way to install the springs and linkage. somebody took it apart and didn't put it back together properly. Its a Bolens push mower with a Quantum Power 3.5. Thanks

Here is the carburetor. The spring in question is on the top. My best guess told me to hook it on the top of the choke. It looks right to me, but doesn't seem to be closing the choke enough. When I got the mower, gas poured from the carburetor. I took the float bowl off and found that there were 2 bowl gaskets and the washer on the bottom was missing. I fixed both of those problems and got it running. i was also wondering if maybe the spring is just too worn.

To me that spring is used to snap the choke closed, when starting. Before throwing new parts at it, I would get a can of carb cleaner and spray clean all that crap on the outside of the carb. Then check to see if the choke will snap closed.
Exactly what I was thinking. That is as far as the choke will close when in the choke position. It starts, but I wanted to make sure everything is correct before I put it back together.
