I have a 1988, Mercury, 35hp and I'm trying to figure out the choke linkage. There's a choke closure spring that has a loop on the end but I can't figure out where it goes? The other end bolts onto a stud for the choke plate. See photos. Thanks

Doesnt it fit into the semicircular recess to the left of the choke pivot shaft . Then tighten the pivot nut on other end of spring with it positioned so as to spring the choke plate back into position .
