Spring Retainer 1982 9.9 Evinrude (pull Starter)

[fishermanfrank]

I own a 1982 9.9 evinrude (E10RLCNS) with a rope start. Im working on the manual starter unit. I successfully replaced the rewind spring. There is what's called a spring retainer that is supposed to sit within the rewind spring.

Is there a certain way that the spring retainer should sit in there? I don't remember how it sits in there? What is the spring retainer's function? Any pictures of the orientation/direction of the spring retainer inside the rewind spring? Ive seen many diagrams of the manual starter unit but none that have helped. THANK YOU

LeeRoy Wisner's site has instructions in his site in the Normal Repairs 1974-1992 section: http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC/OMC info.htm

This is a link to a picture from that section: http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/Fishing images/Recoil_starter.jpg

I'm having a little trouble with this too. My service manual doesn't go into it. I bought a new spring, which is a newer superceded number and the spring end may be updated.

I can't seem to fit this part in here. I think I can see what they are wanting to do with it but I'm a little iffy on bending that spring around so I can fit this retainer on.

The new spring is PN 338534.

I browsed that linked section and he didn't go into detail on it except that they started including a retainer in 79'. I have a diagram like the one linked but it doesn't really go into it either.

Anyone know if the new spring is updated and doesnt' require the retainer?

nevermind, got it.
I had my spring in there backwards.

I love it when somebody brings me these things in as a box of parts.
