Hey folks.
I have a Ted Williams 7.5 hp O/B model# 217.58850 / ser#4b-566628. It has the Tecumseh air cooled power head with neutral/reverse. My problem is that the prop is always engaged but the prop can be turned backwards. From what I have read the clutches tend to give trouble. After getting the lower leg off I found the culprit. The drive spring was rusted and stuck the the shaft. My question is does anybody have a good spring that they could post a pic of for me ? Just want to make sure mine is ok. Something tells me there might be a tab missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanx , Jimmie
