hello everyone , I have and old 2004 Murray 405000x8c with a briggs and stratton engine Model 21B807 0239E1. I went to start it yesterday and, upon it wouldn't start so i started troubleshooting around the carburetor area and saw that the governor cable was broke, so not a big deal i ordered another one. Then i noticed that a loose spring was just sitting in between something, anyway i cant seem to figure out where it connects to. Can anyone tell me where it goes ?, and if the mower will run without it ?. ive attached a picture below. thank you !

It’s the governor control spring. Goes between the governor and throttle control. Trying to locate a picture to help you out. Will post if I can find one.

hi, thanks for your reply, I have the diagram, but where it goes to is so small, I just can't make it out on the diagram. I'm also going to take a picture of my machine, maybe to make it a little easier, it wasn't riding right last season because of this, was driving me completely crazy. I had three people trying to help me but none of them could figure it out. I'll get it up tomorrow, because it will be to dark out by the time I get home to post it today. Thank you !

Thank you so much for that, I don't think I should have a problem now. I'll let you know how I make out.

Hey guys, I finally got to the spring today, but I only see one hole in the black plastic swivel for the spring to connect to, I know this is really simple but I'm not seeing where it goes to, unless I have something else hooked up wrong. I took a side pic and a top view pic so you can see. Thanks

The spring does not go the carburetor but on the control bracket that I posted a picture of from my personal mower.

Yes,I knew it was from a different mower. I see what you are saying, but I can't seem to find it, though I'm getting closer
