Default 90 Sportster Cable to Carb Connection

Hey All, Reinstalling carb to engine on my 90 Sportster I did mark it but wrong maybe. The little spring at the end of the cable goes to the end of the return/idle cable not the throttle. Correct?

Correct. The spring is on the idle cable.

if it is like mine, there should be a spring perch on the bracket where the spring is captured.
