Here's mine with a star lock washer to retain the return spring(since threaded & nyloc added):
You should have a barrel fitting somewhere & a spring

The threaded fitting in your picture is the adjustment mechanism which goes on the bulkhead:

Thanks for all the replies and pictures.
It apparent that I don’t have the correct parts.
I need the spring, the part that fits in the fork and the correct leaver fork with holes that the upper part of spring locates.
If anyone has any ideas where they can be sourced, please LMK.

The throttle linkage is a clever design. If you haven't come across it before, the wrinkle is that the inner cable doesn't move at the carb end, it is the outer cable that moves the throttle linkage. That, and a spring that looks like it came from inside a sofa, makes for a unique design.
Kelveden have the bits - (others probably stock them as well)
