New to the group. Throttle assembly question

Hi! New member from central Ontario, Canada. My Model A has been resting for a couple of years. Recently went to start it up after changing oil, oil down Distributor hole and turned over by hand a few times. When I did start it it roared away and I had to shut it off immediately. I eventually found out the throttle spring was broken.

Picked up a new spring. I got the old one off. Trying to get the new one on but I can't it to seat properly and for the long end to stay hooked on. I can't find a good picture and what illustrations I find are not really clear. Would anyone by chance have a pic of the throttle assembly outside the car so I can get a good idea on how the spring goes on the throttle assembly? Many Thanks.
 
28 early ones had a different spring not reproduced. Later spring won't work.

Thanks for the illustrations and pictures guys. It is very helpful. I also thought of checking out e-Bay and there were some there for sale that gave a good view of the location of the spring on the throttle mechanism. I think I've wrestled into proper position. Now all I have to do is get it back in the car. Thanks again for your help.
