hacker59 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, has anybody any tips on replacing the kick start return spring? I can't manage to get the new spring on the shaft.....is there an easy way of achieving this. Thanks, Paul, Sherpa T Model 124. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieboy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm afraid there is no easy way.Brute strength and perseverance are the key. A strong pair of long nose pliers and twist the spring around the shaft until you can slide the spring through the hole in the centre of the shaft. Not easy.

hacker59 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Cheers, the point nosed pliers I've tried are maybe too small.....I'll look for some bigger ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacker59 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Finally got it fitted....wasn't easy but persevered. Managed to stretch the spring enough and then push it in with a screwdriver.....job well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
