Evinrude E35ECSM 1980

this engine is electric start. It runs for a couple minutes and then floods out. I replaced 1 coil due to no spark on 1 cylinder and now has good spark on both cylinders. It has 110 psi compression on both cylinders. I replaced the leaking fuel pump and rebuilt the carb with all new parts. The float is adjusted properly. It has a choke solenoid and plunger. It shown in the parts diagram attached that there is a spring for the plunger (part 41) which is missing on my engine. I ordered and received the new spring #0324085 and don't see how this fits. It will not fit into the solenoid and will not fit over the plunger. Can someone tell me where this spring goes and if this could potentially be the problem. Thanks for any help!
