Additional information
This pin clip, part number 714-0151A, snaps onto a pin or shaft to keep linkage and rotating components from sliding out during operation. A secure clip helps maintain reliable connections while still allowing quick removal for service.
If a pin works loose, linkage disconnects, or a component shifts out of position, the pin clip may be bent, fatigued, or missing. Loss of spring tension or visible deformation can prevent it from holding securely.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Press the clip fully onto the pin until it seats securely, and confirm it cannot be pulled off by hand.
Pin clip 714-0151A replaces part numbers GW-9355, 9355.
