Go get the manuals I mentioned yesterday. The Tab cord sets the place where the carriage stops at each hit of the 'tab' key. It is the cable and spring which are the problem. The cable is supposed to move the carriage in tension with the spring and when it is released the spring returns the carriage.
If worse comes to worse, you can pick one up on Craig's list
