Thanks AVB. The spring above I found amongst the spares, but I can't make the loop to connect to the starter housing, the spring/wire always breaks real easily. I thought about heating the spring to possibly soften it while I bend it, but I dunno if it'll work like that, or whether too much has broken off already.
Regarding Husqvarna, so the Talon is just a rebranded Husqvarna ? Their parts are likely cross compatible between each other ?

Thanks Norm, I'm a pretty simple person, so I might look into that, but probably as a last resort, lol, thanks smile.

Thanks Bruce smile. Do you know if these springs include the dish that the spring wraps in? or can you buy the dish separate?
