Hi Randy, Perfect! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks everyone very much for their help and responses!

Hi Richard, Thanks very much for your reply. Here are two more pics that are further away from the springs location. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hi Folks! Thanks for all the recent help and kind feedback on removal of stuck connecting rod screw. Now the same engine has a choke return spring that connects from the choke shaft to? This engine was given to me and the spring was in a box with many other parts. I can see where one end...

Believe me, it was! I did use the ratchet and six point with no success. The other one came out easily. I thought about the upside down position, but I was turning the correct way. Thanks for your input!

Got it! Thanks everyone for their ideas. This is what I came up with. Using my dremel and a composite cutting wheel, I cut a slot into the head and then using a flat punch and hammer, pushed down on the edge of the cut and it came free almost immediately! Got plenty of spare bolts so back in...

Hello, Thanks for your response. Yup, sounds right. Grinding the head may be a good solution. Should be easy with my dremel.

I don't have an air hammer, but you've given me some ideas. If I used my Dremel and cut a slot into the head of the bolt and then use a chisel to apply torque to the slot, maybe that will begin to move it. Thanks for your suggestion.

I wish I could get my impact in there, but not enough room. I need to buy a small air powered one that gets into tight spaces. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Again, Yup, tried this also. I did tap it when I heated it. I thought the same thing about the thread lock. Probably what's causing it.

Hi There, Thanks for the reply. Been there, tried that. Nope.

Hi All, I have a Briggs 12000 series engine that I'm tearing down for rebuild and can't remove one of the screws attaching the connecting rod to the crank. One came right out, but the one closest to the piston is a bit longer and I've tried everything I can think of the remove it with no luck...

Thanks for your reply. I finally found a solution with the spring I have. I stretched the spring slightly and it worked perfectly! I appreciate the responses.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I know I can do that, but when I tried it with a used spring, it made no difference. Hoping someone had an actual parts book for the HSSK series so I could see the other two springs.
