The drawing I made should be looked at like it's an X-ray vision showing parts orientation and not which side the parts should be on.
I think the spring should be on the outside like on the Briggs illustration but I don't know for certain.

Neat engine though!

I took the liberty of adding some high tech scribbles on his photo. A possible setup, but by no means THE setup.

Parts Description (hope no one is color blind):
Green is the throttle cable housing
Yellow is a cable holding ferrule
Blue is the inner wire with a "swaged end" (a clevis can also go there)
Red is the 5926 Spring Anchor (Item 7)
Blue is the 5927 Spring (Item 8)

These part numbers are in reference to the Briggs drawing at the link I supplied in Post #17 and from the #692316 Briggs and Stratton Throttle Control set. *Drawing is below the photo.

Even though his engine is fairly different from 3, 4 and 5 HP minibike engines, it looks like it can accommodate the 5926 Spring Anchor (Item 7) and the 1628 Cable Retainer (Item 2) on either side of the rotating governor control (see the double holes) for more cable routing options.

That is excellent! Unfortunately I couldn't visualize it and made some modifications. I will post pictures later today once I have it assembled.
