Blaster Help! No bendix spring

[XJCrawler]

I want to get my blaster on the water for the next couple days, but I don't have a bendix spring for my flywheel cover. Any make shift ideas for getting it on the water? Another bendix spring is 2 weeks away and I want to ride it the next 2 days

Get a spring assortment pak from the home depot or lowes and match it up

It's roughly 3/4" and stiff! All it does it holds the bendix seated, I'm sure you could get away with a make shift fix for now. Just my opinion, obviously in a ideal world you'd have the spring, washers to run the correct way.

Yeah man,order the right parts if you want but you can get it on the water with some "get by" parts

Mine fell out while reassembling without me noticing, I ran it all weekend with no issues. Which gives credibility to some DIY home brew setup for the interim. Shouldn't matter much

I'm having the exact same problem only I have one in another flywheel cover I took off a couple months ago and can't find the cover to save my life

I put another bendix in mine last night, noticed I don't have the washer to the case side , been running for over a month. but bendix would'nt engage sometimes
