Thanks Wes. Another good piece of information.
I took the access panel off and got a good look at the heat riser situation. Turns out the spring is broken. It was separated right where attaches to the valve shaft. The broken piece is still stuck in the shaft, so I'll have to find a way to get that out. Looks like a new spring is on my order list.
The valve moves freely. I left it in the open position (weight down, right?) and then wired it in place for now. I have bigger fish to fry at the moment and will properly repair the valve and spring later.
Also on my list is to clean up the nasty engine bay. It's really an eyesore.
