Thanks for replying John. Very interesting, looks like these Senators were indeed Gilson made. I guess the reverse spring is so you don't put too much pressure on the lever, or possibly to kick the tiller out of reverse if someone isn't holding the lever. (safety feature?) The idler to carb link rod was bent on mine too, but I was able to straighten it and reconnect the spring. It's a cheap part from B&S if you have to order one.

Does your owner's manual show the way the reverse belt is routed? I'll check around with the number of the belt you listed. Thanks, Eric
