So on tear down of my engine ive been studying on the detent spring. My pictures on my engine are upside down but there is a dimple on block for reference and the spring part that goes through the eye hook will be the same as the spring open end should face out.. I noticed that depending on how you install this spring it will bind on shaft or slide freely. So first some pictures on my upside down engine. dimple is clearly visible and so is how the hook sits. When hooked correctly, upside down or not, the hook open end is seen at the eye hole you have to hook spring to and it faces out, meaning you can see that hooks open part when you put through that eye. If you ever have to change a detent spring just look at it and see for yourself, with the basket on getting that spring on without pliers or anything that will scratch it is hard and so is getting that spring connected with the eye hook part of spring facing out.
