The spring is stainless steel so would normally not corrode although there is one poster who has seen one in pretty sad shape due to whatever reason.

The bad thing is they are not part of any repro kits and vendors have yet to see a need to supply new ones. There have been a couple of commercial stock springs cited as possible replacements but don't believe anyone has found an exact match via that route yet. You will probably have to find someone with a parts unit to get one. The retainer clip for the spring to valve shaft does come in some kits with the new valves or is readily available.
