Re: Wizard WF-4 Recoil spring

If the problem is the end is broken off the spring it is possible to heat and
bend end of spring. It is also possible to attend a large outboard swap meet
and source a spring from one of the many models of Kiekhaefer Mercury/Wizard
that share the same spring. For an outboard used lightly a used or reworked
spring is more than adequate imho. Each of us must do our own cost/benefit
analysis to decide which needs to be new and which items with prior service
can be accepted. Sometimes the choice is easy...new does not exist..

Re: Wizard WF-4 Recoil spring

At the Constantine Super Meet Saturday I scrounged for parts for my early K Model accumulation. A walk and look thru the swap area netted a couple of rewind covers for green tank Mercs....complete with springs for a modest sum.
Seek and ye shall find at a reasonable price.
