Problems with Carb throttle return spring... help ID?

I think I've been told I have a Carter carb on my 79 CJ5 , 6cyl.
Today I was driving and it did the usual random bog down and die coming to a stop. When I went to restart it, it started like it always does only this time it was idling WAYY high, like if I was holding the pedal all the way down. So I shut if off, checked the throttle cable and pedal, all was good then looked at the carb, since I assume its the reason for all my issues, and noticed it wasn't putting the throttle "back to zero", even if I push it back by hand, it still goes open as if I was pushing the gas pedal.
Driving it back home was interesting but I got it, if anything it was nice as a cruise control, but its FAR from safe. So now it's in the garage awaiting for someone to verify what's up with this thing now.
I circled in green the spring I THINK it is, but may be wrong. Also, the arrow is pointing to one of the air/gas adjustments, I just don't know which one it is, if I know that it would obviously tell me what the other one is.
If anyone can verify my decision on it being the return spring, and also a link to where I can buy one, would be great. I haven't checked with the local auto parts store because I'm not sure if thats it, just wanted to check with the Jeep-CJ.com guru's.... THANKS!
