This is the PM about the springs.
Jon
I recall a while back that you posted something about using a muffler spring for the trunnion springs. I need to replace the springs on that 2182 I just picked up. Can you tell me what you used and where you got them and what the part number is?
Thanks
Sam
Yep. It's the spring for the exhaust pipe to manifold flange. You can get them at most part stores, and is in the "HELP!" line. Bad news, you have to buy the stud and all to get the spring, but they're usually cheap. Part number is: 03107 at O'Reillys. "HELP!" is a Dorman product. The part is like $6.50 at my local store. Napa will have it, so does Autozone. IIRC, we had to shim it a little as the spring was just a tad short, but it is much stiffer than the correct one. It virtually eliminated the hydro "lag". No lost speed in a hard pull, or going up hills. Also, no speed increase in a push, like going downhill. We left the small spring in too, "just because" I guess.
