I'll take it out later after dinner and see if I can figure how it goes

All that spring does is to keep that lever over into its slot. My spring isn't geat and its only between the side and the end of the lever, When I rotate the lever the spring compresses slightly. It doesn't and wont affect sewing at all

See if you can improvise a replacement out of a BIC pen spring. The size looks about right unless I am over/underestimating the diameter.

The red stuff is felt that is an oil wick - oiling point.  I made the mistake of thinking it was some kind of leftover fluff.

I had to make a new one.  Here's a link to a youtube video.

All the Best, Jeff

Bic pen spring = too small in diameter, but would do
