Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi Rob,
The only place I could see this coming from is a screw on the port side of the motor down by the tilt bracket. If you check the shaft where the motor pivots left to right, there should be a bolt with a spring on it, which adjusts the tension on the motor's ability to turn. This may or may not be what is missing as it is a fairly small spring.
I tried searching parts diagrams and came up with that spring, or a shift linkage spring.
Any idea where it fell from? Inside the engine housing, outside housing, etc?
