With all the suggestions I decided to take a look from the top side and can confirm the throttle spring is there and is looser as others noted. I played with the emergency brake and it does feel a little looser but that could be in my head. The clutch play feels normal.

Got the carb rebuilt today, but have no working engine to test it on. Yet...

I don't have a wire gauge set for the two measurements, so perhaps I will have to bring it to work sometime to borrow theirs for a bit.

It may be close enough already.

Looks like the tip to the flat is 2.28" if you want to make your own.

That looks like a throttle return spring. It may or may not be original.

Is everything working as it should be? Any difference in the way systems are behaving....

My '37 had about three different springs on it as none of them were correct and a moron P.O. had just kept kludging it up rather than find the right part for the job, and connect the linkage properly.

Here is a partial view of the eBrake equalizer spring on my 37, I think it is a heavier spring than the one you are asking about.

I should have added some size reference and other details. The core of the spring is very close to a new replacement spring I have for the throttle (hook to end of coil about 4 inches, guessing 5 inches with the missing/broken hook). Apart from the direction of the one hook being different than the throttle replacement, it is much stiffer/tighter which was also another reason I initially thought brake related.

That would be great if you could check for me! The reason I am so concerned about this adjustment is I am pretty sure it is adjusted too low and causing my engine to stall out right after it starts

Far too “soft” of a spring for that. The little one inside the clutch for the throwout bearing return is stiff and has no length of wire to its hook and was virtually unchanged for decades.

My cowl is currently "loose" as I took it apart in the Fall for a new gasket (still need to finish installing). I don't believe there was anything but the 3 or 4 bolts/nuts.

On the throttle, unless there are 2 springs in the chain, the one "similar" on the right side near the carburetor is still in tact.

As to the clutch, b/c of my drive I would assume I would have been unable to shift, etc. or would have noticed on the drive.

The brake suggestion may be the most likely. I usually back out of the garage and and stop to warm the car up in the area where I stumbled on the spring later. Sheer dumb luck I found it, much less when it was getting dark.

Thanks again for the direction. Hopefully I can take a look this week and confirm what I find.

If it turns out to be brake related then I'm glad my paranoia of never "parking" the car perpendicular to my pond exists, otherwise I'd have a wet Packard.
