Carter Metering rod spring help

Hello I am rebuilding my carter yfa one barrel carburetor and I can't figure out how to orient the metering rod spring on the metering rod. When I took the carb apart it was missing the spring so I had to order one. Does anybody have a close up picture of the metering rod or can someone walk me though it.

Thanks

Here are three shots from the shop manual and one from the internet. The 2nd one is the Fig 11 the first one mentions. Hope they help.

I'm in the same boat that you were in. What did you do with the short end of the spring? I still can't figure out where it goes even after looking at the photos and diagrams.

Here is a video that I followed to rebuild mine. I had never rebuilt one of these but this guy (Mike) made it real easy to follow.

There are 4 parts/videos to it so you could just advance ahead until you reach the part your stuck on.

Good Luck!
Bryan
