68-69 sears 4hp outboard not eska

[truckintyler]

on the flywheel there two weights that have something to do with the recoil
my question is.....do the springs hold them out or in towards the center?

The weights or pawls are held out by light springs and the centrifugal force produced by the running engine will pull them back in.
