Greg, I can’t help with a source of a new spring but can give some indication of what the servo mechanism does. The early Allen Scythes were notorious for nothing happening when the clutch lever was operated, this was due to load on dog clutch preventing it from releasing, the trick was to open the throttle slightly to release the load. Later models with the servo overcame this problem by having a mechanism that drove the clutch out of engagement irrespective of load.

There are two sizes used on Villiers engines I believe, the smaller one is 1/2″ UNF see link the larger one is 5/8″ 20tpi see link . I have used the links to show the two variants, other suppliers have them in stock.
