recoil starter spring

[Oldshell4481]

anyone have any tricks up their sleeve for loading the recoil spring and putting it in its cradle. its a b**ch to try and coil it all up just holding it.

Well recently i had the same problem with my ytm 200
I tried by just holding it but cut up my fingers pretty bad
So, I took it to one of my friends ( who's a mechanic)
He put it on the floor and used two pairs of vice-grips to coil it up
