Re: Replacing recoil starter spring, 1958 Lightwin

[Mumbles]

A new spring will lay out straight for its length so I like to use a folding table or truck bed when working on them as I don’t have any room on the work bench. Freshly painted housings can be rotated on a clean towel to avoid scratches and as the spring goes in, I like to lightly grease it for two or three feet at a time. Having a third hand would be handy but I manage to do it with one and a half hands. You might want to wear some safety goggles to just in case…
