Extra carb spring

Post by GoodDerf »

So I am putting my carb back together and when I went to do so I noticed that in the process of cleaning it a spring came out from somewhere and I have no idea where it goes. Does anybody have any idea where it could have came from?

Greetings:

A little coil backs the idle mixture screw and keeps it from self-spinning out. Another larger one protrudes visibly behind the throttle stop. That's it for springs other than the throttle slide return under the cap.

*Edit*
Thanks for the help I found where the mystery screw went. Always feels better when you don't have extra pieces at the end of re-assembly.
