Here are my springs when first opened up.
First Spring (from drive end): Middle Spring: Last Spring: And here is the full set clean and awaiting re-packing with grease:
Hope this helps

NICE! Ok. Now I want to clean them.

I used kerosene for the initial clean and grease removal, then a Toluene based automotive parts cleaner for final clean up. It removes all and any staining from the old grease that the kero can't handle. Don't use the parts cleaner on the leather pad of the speed control at the governor, or the tiny one on the speed indicator as it affects the leather in a bad way.

Another picture to spur you on!
