Good morning!

I have been trying to replace my recoil spring on the motor but i cant seem to line up the pin with the hole while having the entire pull cordwound up. I can line it up while having a bit of the rope hang free but obviously that doesnt do me any good!

I need to find a way to keep the spring tighter so that i can put the pin in the hole while the rope is fully wound up!

Would love to get some advice on this so i can get back on the water Fishing!!

Thank you in advance,
Jean

Welcome to the forum.
I assemble the recoil starter with the spring in it and wind it up by hand. Then install the rope and the recoil will take the rope in.
