Repairs model 7265 starter

Would someone here, help me determine where the spring item # 18 "fits" into and into what on my starter for this 7265. I must be overlooking something here. I see it faces towards the flywheel, is that what aligns it to the teeth? Thanks for any help here.

Thanks Robinb66, I did find this link to the "lawn mower service" manuel. The spring on the pinion was either stretched or the wrong one all together, I found a new one that I had ordered some time ago and installed it and it appears to be working the way it should. It amazes me how these old mowers just keep running.
Thanks again,
RGM
