Wrechin question for you about a starter

[foodsaver]

What do you call the spring that is on top of a starter? Mine seems to be in pretty poor shape and I would like to just replace the spring.

I'M not James but i think it's a compression spring.

What engine is it? I may have one I will give you. I have a bunch of starters. Just need to know what we are dealing with. If I don't have one I will give you the part number to order one.

it is a 75 hp force motor 1999 model.

Give me the serial so I cross reference the part numbers. emoToast

Not trying to hyjack the thread, but I also need to replace that same spring on my starter. To this point, I have been unable to remove the gear to get to the spring? I have not found a way to keep the armature from spinning instead of the nut coming loose. I tried jamming the gear against the flywheel, but the starter armature still spins. What's the secret?

We may just have to compare. Most that I have seen are around the same size. Force doesn't sell just the spring but they sell a kit for $31 that come with the spring. Hope this helps!
