Default Replacement idle screw spring

So, a few months ago I rebuilt the carb and engine in my 1250. Works like a charm...but the idle screw spring was all rusted and I reused it, but I really need a new one. Because its causing idle problems for me. So, after doing some research. I have found that its difficult to get a replacement spring. What have others found to work for them? Thanks

Per the Kohler Manual for Adjustable Carb 47-853-20:

200380-S Spring, idle needle
232555-S Spring, idle screw

Both available from either your local CC or Kohler Dealer(s).

I found those part numbers. But when I looked online at Partstree.com and cubcadetpartsnmore.com they said to call them, which was what pretty much every other site is saying as well. I'll give the local cub cadet dealer a shot.

This is why it is better to rely on the accuracy of information from Cub Cadet or Kohler rather than some supplier.

ok, so I got the new idle spring. While I was at it. I ordered a new brass governor shaft nut. I got the old one off and put the new one on. Now, my governor is all out of wack. Here's the issue....when I took it apart....i'm not sure I put the tab back on the governor correctly. If I take the nut back off and use a flash light I can see that I can orient the tab horizontally or vertically. Now, I don't remember how it was when I reassembled the engine...but I did could see up through the oil pan to ensure I assembled it correctly. I can't do that this time. So, if I were to look inside the hole, how should I see that tab? Horizontal or vertical?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
