    farmboy,
    Although the 18-6501 spring didn’t work out for me on my HD-25, I’m glad that it is working out for you. I have had better luck with these more expensive springs that I buy from Ahlstrand Marine which they claim to be new old stock.

    The key to a long life for these things is plenty of grease, and a new pull cord with a couple of extra turns of length on it so you never pull it out to the end.
