having messed about with it a bit more I am still at a loss as to how to
locate the springs...


I have a B&S engine with two springs, one of which is much finer than
the other. The heavier spring is the linkage between the throttle cable
and the choke/main valve, the finer spring doubles up the linkage
between the crankcase governor and the butterfly valve which it
controls. Its ends just hook into the same holes as the wire link
itself. Because there is a good deal of looseness in the wire linkage,
the fine spring can act as a damper so that the governing action isn't
jerky --just like Gary said!
