I think the possibilities have all been mentioned. Mine had the same symptoms a while back and I replaced the entire assembly with an NOS one, but these units are often easily repairable. There are TWO springs, check for both and I'm enclosing a picture of the smaller one that returns the handle to the horizontal position. Also if the ratchet teeth on the bar are OK but the edge of the pawl is bad, consider just adding some weld to the pawl and reshaping with a file.
