There is a return spring on the rear brake. Is there supposed to be one on the front. too? I don't see any on the drawings. Just asking.

that being said- to run a successful front brake campaign, all pivots needs to be cleaned & greased and use a new front brake cable and brake shoe spring. Maintenance and up-to-date parts go a long ways.

Yep, I rebuilt the front brake with a new cable, shroud, OEM parts and lubed appropriately. It just looked like a spot where a spring should belong.
