    Got a project in a box (pieces) and attempting to put the motor together. What is the best way to put the spring/ball back in for the shift drum? I know it's going to fly across the garage!
    Thanks

    I pushed the ball and spring down without the drum and then used a scribe through the hole in the side to hold some of the tension off the spring. The ball just needed depressing slightly with a screw driver as the drum was fitted.
