During my carb cleaning. As I was on carb #3. The throttle spring is worn out. I can't get the butterflies back in obviously.

And of course everything in town is closed.

Is this a universal spring?
Hardware store item?
Amazon?

Update: I did finally get the original to work again hours of playing with it. And a nice lighter, and needle nose pliers. Good luck trying to find a replacement.
