Re: Rewind spring installation 1976 20hp. evinrude
maybe someone knows an easier way. but heres what i did.
take and coil it up in one hand with the other pull on the end to make it tightenin up and shrink then take the slack you pulled out recoil------repeat until you have it small enough to fit in the housing.
you'll need safety glasses.
and dont do on the kitchen table i lost grip on mine once and grease on the curtains will not make your wife a happy camper.
be carefull those little babys look small but once unleashed LOOK OUT!
good luck
