Additional information
This spring, part number 722520, provides tension within a control or linkage system so connected parts move and return as intended during operation. Proper spring tension supports consistent response and reliable control.
If a control feels loose, does not return to position, or fails to hold tension, the spring may be stretched, weakened, or broken. Loss of tension or visible damage can affect how the connected mechanism operates.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Springs can be under tension; use pliers or a spring tool and keep your hands clear while installing to avoid injury.
