Rebuilding SU HS2 carb and setting the lever springs

Hey folks,
I have just stripped, cleaned and replaced parts on my carb, I am now trying to resemble it, but can't work out how to get the two lever springs in the correct place to apply tension.
Has anyone got a photo or diagram showing them correctly assembled?
Thanks a lot!

If you don't have one already - go to google and download a free copy of the 'morris minor workshop manual'

Surely the idle adjust screw is in from the wrong side ??

Fig 2 on the link provided by katy shows the lever(s) correctly fitted.
The spindle lever fitted to the carb in the above photo appears to have been fitted upside down and back to front.

Thanks folks, i have made some progress, corrected some dodgy screw fitment, but still not got my levers in the right place to start levering!
In the diagram below, i have tried to match the four ends of the levers to their correct lever points. Can someone check them and tell me if they are right?

Apologies for the stupid question, i should have taken some photos when i disambled it, but it all sprung apart before i could check it!
Thanks a lot!

Make sure you have the throttle plate in right way round..........
