Don't you just hate it when

I just spent the last few hours ringing out all the circuits connected to the dash. For the life of me, I have no idea why the fusible link burnt up. I reinstalled the dash and so far everything is working just fine. I put in the new wiper motor and it seems to be working OK.
While working around the carb, I found a long, thin lightweight metal wire spring sitting there unhooked. Any clues to where it goes. I can not find an answer in the Haynes or service manual
I think it is to hook to the choke to no allow it to fall closed
