My buddy went to the local hardware store and came back with an assortment of springs. One worked perfect. A previous PO put a cotter pin was in place of where the spring should have gone.

He is a happy camper and I thank all that helped me figure out the debacle! A special thanks to Dan who went above and beyond!
