Just to clarify, the springs (both the one inside the jet assy, and the
choke lever return spring on the outside) are not a normal part of the
kit.  They certainly don't need to be replaced every time the carb is
rebuilt.  But, they do get old and tired, and sometimes do need to be
replaced.  If you're having jet sealing problems, IMO replacing the
spring (which puts the proper amount of tension on the seals) is a good
idea.  If I was doing a rebuild, and didn't know that they had been
replaced in the last 20 years or so, I'd replace them on general
principles.
