This is probably not the same SpeedX that you have, but the spring goes 
in the same place:

The spring is between the second adjustment screw from the right and the 
moving arm.

Here's another one that might be more like yours.  The spring goes over 
the adjustment screw:

It's hard to find pictures that show the screw well!
