Default Lawn mower edger help Please

Group,
So I took apart the carburator and the engine gave it all a good cleaning
and greasing (where needed) and got the edger to work Finally. So I decided
to take apart the lawn mower (craftsman 6.0 w/briggs and s motor) I gave it
all a good cleaning and greasing again where needed. But the lawn mower
still wont turn on. A few messages up I saw that the valve had to be closed
for the lawnmower to start. I think this is what the problem is with the
lawn mower the valve stays open. I must have forgotten where the spring
goes to control the opening and closing of the valve or I am missing another
spring. If anyone has a lawnmower like mine model 917 387500 could you take
a picture of the spring apparatus just on top of the carburator. I've seen
other models from craftsman at the local sears that look like mine and look
like they would have the same components so a general picture would do.,
Thanks
Phillip


So go to Sears and take a picture of one yourself. You're the one that
screwed it up.
