springs on carburettor of briggs and stratton 35 classic?

could anyone send me a picture or explain how the small springs are assembled on the throttle/carburettor. i think i have assembled them wrong because the engine will not idle correctly. many thanks.

There are 2 springs. Stand at the front of the mower facing the handle. Remove the air cleaner housing to gain access to the throttle control. Just inboard of the manual throttle control leaver & to the right is a small flat arm with a slot in. Hook one end of the large spring into this slot & the other end diagonally forward to wards the engine into the slot on choke arm. The small spring also fits in the choke arm slot but hooks straight back to wards you into a vertical fixed arm. If your mower is older than 4 years this probably won't make much difference as the springs will need replacing!
