Default Throttle/idle cables

Ok, guys I need help bad, upon changing the bars and all the cables, the throttle/idle cables are giving me the fits the most, and can't figure out why this is, feeling kinda dumb right about now. The manuel says one thing, and the online manuel says the opposite thing. The I have the throttle cable and idle cable correct at the grip throttle in front idle closest to the tank, the question I'm struggling with is at the carb, which goes where, the throttle goes at the back too pull the float open and the idle at the front. Right? And the little spring goes where, top or bottom? I'm not getting any snap back on my throttle grip. 2007 Softail Deluxe this is on, any help would be welcomed and appreciated so much.
