      Just wanted to close this thread out as a success story.  I was able to replace the broken recoil spring with Sierra part 18-6501 and it seems to work fine.  Here is a video of it running at its first AOMCI meet.  Top speed was 5mph on a heavily loaded 14′ v-hull boat with two people.

        Sounds like that little 3 hp is trying it’s hardest to go six mph!

        Prepare to be boarded!

          70 lbs on a smaller 60 yr old motor is great compression. Should run and idle great!

          It's a jungle out there.
