Simplicity Sunstar hydro linkage

[ecolbeck]

I知 looking for help with my Sunstar. The hydro hand control lever has some sort of spring that keeps it tight against the neutral safety switch. The spring is broken and the lever wanders off of the switch which kills the engine if you are standing off the tractor. I want to replace the spring but I知 having difficulty reading the parts diagram. I知 wondering if someone who knows Sunstars well can confirm the part number that I need. Thank you.

Model numbers from the chassis could help.

What sunstar do you have? I use an 18 and a 20, no switches on either of them bother and springs are broken on both of them. To start I have to hold the lever in towards me, then hit key, after starting they run fine. Get your model # and post it.
