Additional information

This extension spring, part number 723264, supplies controlled tension within a linkage or control assembly so components return to their intended positions during operation. Proper spring tension helps maintain consistent response and predictable movement.

If controls feel loose, do not return fully, or fail to hold position, the extension spring may be stretched, weakened, or broken. Reduced tension or visible deformation can affect how the connected mechanism operates.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Extension springs are under tension; use pliers or a spring tool and keep your hands clear while installing the spring.
