hey Cap... as long as you're giving mechanical advice remember to a lot of us non mechanical types thin flat metal wrapped tightly looks like a coil
on the phone listening to a mechanic I once knew while trying to replace a lawnmower pull rope
'okay take that part off and be careful about the spring'
'um I got the top off and I don't see a spring'
'well it has to have one so just look for it and make sure you keep it in its place'
'no all i see is a coi.... ' WHIZZWHIZZWHAPWHAPWHAP FLIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
'what was that'
'a coil'
'no that was the spring'
'I'll just buy a new lawnmower'
