Hi Robert,
Yep, one just like it will work fine Seriously with out the spring two things
can happen.
1. The engine will make a mess all over the garage floor. I don't mean
quarter size either. it will be a puddle. The engine will also start to use
oil rather rapidly, say a quart every 300 miles.
2. The disc will slip off to one side and it will pull oil right out of the
crank case under full vacuum of the manifold and send it right into the carb
mixture. This will blacken you plugs , make you think you're to rich. It will
also use oil like crazy, not to mention the fact that the mosquito abatement
team will be out of a job because you took over fogging for them.
Don't ask how I know this, lets just say a wise man learns from other's
mistakes.
