Disconnected Spring.....What is it?

Howdy all,
Just purchased a CB550F to replace my CB750 Cafe project which burned up. :mad:

The bike started fine and rode fine but just had a idle issue which I know is probably a carb cleaning issue. Well two days after I get it home, it will not start. I know the seller was fiddling with the idle screw so maybe that threw out a setting. Looking around the bike I found a disconnected spring located on the right side of the bike by the kickstarter. Cannot see where it is suppose to be connected to. The other end looks to be some kind of cable connector but instead has to wires that lead back to the harness. Here are pics. Thanks in advance.

That activates your rear brake light (the plastic housing is a switch). The spring will connect to a hole on your brake lever arm.
