Reaching up & taking the spring off is one of the very first mods I did to my 140's. Later I threw it away when I pulled the pedal out to lube the bush.

Pros: Getting rid of the spring gets rid of the random amout of free travel from the pedal. The clutch fork return spring(27) is plenty strong enough to hold the pedal up.

Cons: None that I know of, I 1st did it in 1987 & I can't see a downside.
