Gotcha! I hope the 2 spring one fits. Thankfully you’re the member that probably lives the closest to me!EarlH wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 8:28 pm It's usually the spring that goes up through the hole that is broken on those that keeps it from engaging. If it's broken off towards the end, you can pull enough of the spring up to get it to go through the opening and work again. If nothing else, I probably have one from a two spring motor and you can swap the parts around from one of those. I'd have to do some looking though, and I might not get to it until this weekend.
It won't fit by itself; it will be way too short. However, you should be able to take the ratchet spring off one and use it on the other. It's way easier to just swap out the whole assembly.AmberolaAndy wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 11:58 pmGotcha! I hope the 2 spring one fits.

I would suggest contacting Mark Gaisser (croakin' frog). He generally has a good inventory and it's definitely much easier to replace the entire assembly. Shouldn't be too costly as well.AmberolaAndy wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 11:58 pmGotcha! I hope the 2 spring one fits.

If Earl H cannot find one I’ll consider it. Thanks.ChesterCheetah18 wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:05 pmI would suggest contacting Mark Gaisser (croakin' frog).

Why yes it is sir! That’s what I need.EarlH wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:32 pm Does this look like the part you need? It does work, I took it off a working motor tonight, but I have no use for it. The spring on the winding pawl is good and it turns smoothly, but could stand oiling. I just washed it off some with a little bit of lye and if you are going through the whole thing, it could stand a coat of paint as you can see... Anyway, let me know what you think. Regards, Earl.
