Additional information
This extension spring, part number 732-0463A, applies controlled tension to connected components so linkages return smoothly and stay engaged during operation. Proper spring tension helps maintain consistent response and reliable control.
If a control does not return fully, feels loose, or components fail to stay engaged, the spring may be stretched, weakened, or broken. Visible elongation, corrosion, or loss of tension can also indicate wear.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Hook the spring securely onto the correct mounting points and confirm it applies even tension without rubbing against nearby parts.
Extension spring 732-0463A replaces part numbers 732-0463, 932-0463.
