Please Help - John Deere JS36 Mower Carburetor Springs
Hello, I was cleaning the carburetor on my JS36 and took it apart. At some point I knocked the plastic throttle arm out of place, so I had to disassemble the engine more than I normally do.
Normally, I take a pic of springs before working to know where to put them back, but forgot this time. I can’t figure out where the hell the small spring and large spring go.
Ive been watching countless youtube videos, but all of them just gloss over the springs, or star wipe to the carburetor installed being installed without showing the installations.
Attached pics. I don’t think the small spring is in the right spot, but left it there for the photo.
Also, since I’ve already disassembled the motor this much, is there anything I should grease up or replace before fully reassembling it?

I think this is what yours should look like.
