Coleman outfitter 550

I'm pretty sure there was an arrow indicating flow direction on the one I purchased. If there is not any indication (like the one you got) most likely it could flow either direction . I looked at the Amazon listing but there is no indication of micron size so I would be hesitant to use it. It seems the injectors on these Colemans (HiSun) are pretty finicky when it comes to filtration.

Hi!  My father-in-law and mother-in-law just bought a Coleman Outfitter 550 from an elderly gentleman who didn't want his anymore.  The unit doesn't want to shift in to Reverse.  We know you have to press the brake pedal to be able to shift into reverse.  But the torsion spring connected to the brake pedal cable has too much give and isn't pulling the cable enough to allow them to shift into reverse.  Is this the correct spring?  There is too much slip on the bottom when the brake pedal is pressed that the cable isn't being pulled enough to allow them to engage Reverse.  Any suggestions?  Is there an adjustment that can be made somewhere to get this working reliably?

I was having the same problem and was never able to get it adjusted. I ended up taking the spring out and rigging it differently. I'll take a pic and send it when I get back out to my shop.

Its pretty crude but works great. Basically I used an all-thread that I bent 90 deg. Put a small split ring in the cable. I searched for a smaller (shorter) spring but was never successful in finding one.

That looks awesome!  I was thinking we were going to have to come up with a solution on our own and your solution looks like it is inexpensive, adjustable, and "do-able".  Thanks so much for the suggestion!
