recoil for 1950 evinrude fleetwin 7.5hp

[danno2301]

does ANYONE know where i can get a recoil spring for a 1950 evinrude fleetwin 7.5hp model 4434? can't find one anywhere! SeaWay Marine had one last week and by the time i went to order it, it was gone! PLEASE HELP! or, if anyone has a picture of what one looks like. was told mine is bad (has an "s" shape in the center and being told it's not supposed to look like that, which is why i can't get it back on). great little motor that runs awsome! don't want to junk it over a pull cord!

Take the broken spring with you to a dealer. Even if they say they don't have one, they probably do. See if they'll let you look at a few springs to match one up. As long as it is the same width and uses similar tabs on the ends, it ought to work...
