Hi  Victorp, and welcome to TGMF.

The little loop I've arrowed in your image, is this part of the rod that runs from throttle shaft on carb, to governor arm at the back of the engine? If yes then the spring probably hooks in there.

Mick, thanks for prompt reply just waiting for a new governor spring.

Does look a bit stretched, did you catch it on a shrub or something?
