It is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment rewind spring, engineered to meet or exceed the quality of the OEM part it replaces. This spring is a core component of the manual starter (recoil) assembly, storing tension as the starter cord is pulled and then retracting the cord back onto the pulley so the starter is ready for the next pull. A worn, weakened, or broken rewind spring is one of the most common reasons a recoil starter fails to retract the cord properly or loses spring tension over time, and replacing it restores proper starter operation without needing to replace the entire recoil housing assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra 18-6503 is finished in white and is sold as a single spring. It carries the Sierra brand's standard limited warranty and is intended for technicians and boat owners performing recoil starter service or rebuilds on compatible Johnson and Evinrude outboard motors. Because rewind springs are fit-specific to the recoil assembly they are installed in, buyers should confirm the original part number against 318944 before ordering to ensure proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-6503\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rewind Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999320339\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJohnson\/Evinrude outboard motors using recoil starter assemblies compatible with rewind spring 318944\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e318944\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-6503 Rewind Spring replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6503 Rewind Spring is a direct replacement for OEM part number 318944 used on Johnson and Evinrude outboard motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a rewind spring used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e A rewind spring is the coiled spring inside a manual recoil starter that retracts the starter cord back onto the pulley after each pull, and the 18-6503 performs this function in compatible Johnson\/Evinrude recoil starter assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-6503 rewind spring weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6503 Rewind Spring weighs 0.51 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-6503 rewind spring?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is finished in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-6503 an OEM part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6503 is a Sierra aftermarket rewind spring engineered to meet or exceed the quality of the original 318944 OEM spring it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many springs come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6503 is sold as a single rewind spring, one unit count per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this spring fit any Johnson or Evinrude outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6503 is fit-specific and designed for recoil starter assemblies that originally used spring 318944, so the original part number should be confirmed before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engine type is the 18-6503 rewind spring designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed for gasoline-powered outboard motor engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-6503 come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-6503 Rewind Spring is covered by Sierra's limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-6503 rewind spring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Sierra 18-6503 Rewind Spring is 030999320339.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988357722331,"sku":"SIE-18-6503","price":33.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-6503_lg__98199.1558129151.500.750.jpg?v=1785188344","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/rewind-spring-for-johnson-evinrude-10-12-hp-outboard-motors-replaces-omc-318944-sierra-18-6503","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
