type 44 fogging no spring solution

Take the spring to a "real" hardware store (not the consumer lumber
company).  They'll have a large selection of extension springs and you
should be able to find a spring of similar stretchiness.  You may have to
cut it down a tad and use one of the coils as a new end piece.
