If this is a USA import then I believed that the 1978s had PD46C like mine has. But maybe they were just using up bits as it was the end of the line. The main throttle spring is mounted round the throttle shaft on the PD46C.But back to the choke shaft. I am not going to be much help. But think the C and A both have the double spring arrangement. When I split my carbs a few years ago I remember that getting that spring wound to give the correct force was a a nightmare so take note how much it unwinds when it lets go.
I’m nearly sure that these have to be separated to replace spring. At least 1&2 separated from 3&4.

Everything on bike is standard.CheersBrian

Only covered about 75miles though as only got it legal late last year.
