I just bought a new/old 1985 i think, evinrude 4hp 2 stroke motor. I removed the top cover to remove and clean out the gas tank.
The coil spring shot out from under the top.
Now putting everything back together i cant get the spring in place. Ive tried recoiling it and fitting it in but i don't know how to go about it without having 4 arms. Is there a trick to this? How to I put the starter recoil spring back in my motor?
