Welcome to TBN.

I believe you are overthinking this. Get a good measurement for length and go shopping. I'd start with a soft spring and work my way up.

What exactly does this spring do?

its a the balance spring on bottom of throttle shaft it attaches to a curved arm on one end and the balance bracket on the other, I guess must keep tension on the throttle handle

Does the throttle work without spring now?

you need to hold it down to increase rpm, if you take your hand off it goes back to idle

Best I can tell from your pic, parts 4 and 7 combine to hold the throttle in place. 4 are fiber discs that work like brake pads or clutch discs. 7 applies pressure and is adjustable using the bolts that hold the stack together. I think if you tighten the bolts and pressurize the stack, the throttle will staywhere you leave it.

The spring might hold tension on the carb linkage assembly. But don't think it has anything to do with position control of the lever.

ok got a couple of carb springs from o'rielly's will see if they work. Also bought some cork from walmarts for new friction disks if needed. Thanks for the explanation
