    Help! The kickstart coil spring was sticking out too far, and rubbing on something in the case and wasn't letting the engine turn over to start. I tried to put it back, but it came out.

    I don't know how to coil it up again, as I haven't got the strength to hold it by hand.

    Thanks

    Piece of tube with a hole down the middle. Rotate the gear and then knock it down against the casing once its clear of the raised section. The tube over the end of the spring stops it slipping off :good:
