Pullstart 59,641 #1 Posted May 23, 2019 Copied out of Frank’s build... any advice is appreciated! I found a broken spring. It appears to help return the brake pedal when the motion control is pushed or pulled. A) is it crucial? could I reposition a spring to the brake rod if I can’t find a direct replacement? B ) if I happen to find a direct fit replacement, where does it go? To that 1/4-20 stud possibly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,610 #3 Posted May 24, 2019 Skip that... put a spring on the outside of the hoodstand... never a problem ever again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that just a cotter key through the brake rod? I picked up two springs yesterday like Paul showed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,143 #5 Posted May 24, 2019 Dave has a good approach. Getting the spring hooked up inside isn't the easiest thing. Very long needle nose pliers and some patience. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
