just bought a 86 force 15 hp. the pull start spring is not attached. so it does not rewind. does anyone know if the spring attaches to the pin on the bottom? also I can't find anywhere what plugs should be in there?

My documentation (based on the year) calls for NGK B6HS.... If you have the model and serial number I can confirm that....

If it doesn't rewind??
Usually the spring is broken.
Unless it's been taken apart.
Then get a manual and follow the steps to put tension on the spring.

Well I found a good pix of the spring.It appears it is missing the part for the bottom of the spring and appears the person before me bent the spring to try and get it to work. Just ordered a new spring with parts missing.

Achris please let me know if that is the correct plugs.

Jerry i found a manual on ebay for $19 shipped.

Thanks

Possibly on e-bay.
F84074 CLAMP SCREW FOOT
Here;s the part number it's still available.
It actually come in 3 pieces.
The washer, the screw(NLA) and the stud(also NLA)
If yours still has the pointy thing still on the screw? The washer will fit.
They sell the whole thing on e-bay sometimes.

Chrysler/Force engine don't use projected nose spark plugs. Use either standard B6HS or BR6HS for radio noise interference suppression...
