Default Top Lever spring?

Shot sporting clays this afternoon with Brett Hoops at Hunting Hills outside Waynesburg, Pa. We both decided to shoot our 20 ga grouse guns. I was shooting my old VHE 20, my favorite grouse gun. Now, calling this gun a shooter might be a stretch--a beater/rain gun might be more appropriate. I had just run a station when on the last shot, the top lever went to the side and had no tension--when you closed the gun up, the top lever wouldn't go back to center. You could push it back to lock the barrels, but it would come loose.
Is this a broken top lever spring?--I don't know the 'inards of a Parker, so I welcome your comments/suggestions/recommendations.
