After the pull cord went limp on my Eager Beaver 200 I removed the recoil starter cover and the recoil spring came out with the cord holder. The spring is OK but I cant get the thing back in with a new pull cord. Does anyone know if there is a preferred way to get the spring back into the housing. I have tried a number of different ways but no luck. There are just too many coils to make the spring easy to hand and wind back up tightly enough to fit into the housing.
From a sticker on the engine the model appears to be a 400026A if this is any help.
