Here is the picture. Hope it helps. I believe it is a 2100 also.

that little spring can probably be gotten anywhere. it isnt anything special.

I am glad I looked at this post. I took a few pictures of my carberator to post because one guy looked at it and said the linkage looked "messed up" I don't think any of my springs look like that. where does one find proper length and tension, or does it even mater? Sorry for the hijack, I just had to jump in here, as I am getting ready to rebuild my autolite 2100.
Matter of fact, I have two bunged up springs where the longer one is in the picture. They both hook to the same spot on the carb, and they hook under the coil mount at the other end.
Sorry again, I'll make my own post when the time comes.
Take a look at this train wreck!
This is how it probably should NOT look.
Good luck!
