the spring helps open the needle valve. so the carb can get gas.

The soft tipped needle will sometimes stick in the seat. The purpose of the spring clip is to drag it out of the seat when the float drops. It may work without it until it sticks 5 miles out in the lake.

Go to the Engine FAQs, Jethro.

Find out why the engine won't start before you start tearing things apart.
