Yes, it was reinstalled. What's strange is sometimes you can press the foot accelerator and it responds as it should. Other times you can step on it and nothing happens.
Mike,
I dont recall there being a spring connected directly to the injection pump. I do however, recall there being some spring tension on the lever that connects to the pump. It's been a while since I've had the pump off so I couldn't guarantee that last statement. By the diagram, It's hard to determine exactly where the other end of that spring connects.
