1967 Johnson recoil spring replacement. I want to install a new spring, can't get the outer spring hook to anchor on the lower plate? I loosened the lower anchor plate in order to remove the carb. The spring came loose, I have the manual diagram and all the parts look ok. When re assembling the outer spring 'hook' should lock into something in the lower mounting plate. I don't see any place for it to mate up with. This may sound confusing but has anyone else replaced the cylindrical double spring on these older Johnson's? Any advice is appreciated.
