If you haven't taking it apart, then someone did. And forgot to put the spring back.
Unfortunately...totally different issue
Spring found before I even took the petcock apart
I was WRONG...
Yes, was having petcock problems, and didn't even remember that I DID take it apart to inspect the diaphragm.
I also ordered a new (well used) petcock to rebuild mine...Opened up the new one, and voila! The magic little spring was right there...the same one that fell out of my other petcock!
I guess in all the work I was doing on the bike, I forgot which things I did when.
Mystery solved.
