Not able to secure a spring over the weekend, I decided to check my parts drawers. Came up with a couple, had to modify. I did find the ball on the shop floor, which is almost impossible on wood floor with some cuts in it. This morning, I went about inserting my modified spring in the hole. No luck. I decided to look down that hole one more time. Picked the engine up, carb facing me, looking in there, a spring is there. Where did that come from? Looks like in my inserting a spring that would not work, somehow loosened up the stock spring, there it was, standing at attention.
Put the ball in, slid the shaft thru, secured the butterfly, Life is Good
Thanks for the help.
