JX Doesnt start after adjusting return spring

Hi Everyone, cant believe my first post is a cry for help
Being new to the black fuel 1600td motor in my Doka i noticed the big ugly 8 inch throttle return spring didn't quite pull the arm back on to its stop so removed it as it left a gap of about 2mm, rewound the return spring (so now it removes fingers if careless) to sit on the stop screw, and of course the engine has gone from a lovely starter to a - starts with foot on the pedal flat for about 10 secs then dies, wont rev, wont do anything, alternator light doesn't go off either
Up till i fixed what wasn't broken it started first time, 30 sec relay delay, and would idle away to itself happily and i coukd drive happily
What have i done as undoing this and going back hasn't helped either
I did notice the battery was flat so charged it up and that's made no difference
any advice welcome
