Ariens ST724 won't drive

Hi- I have an Ariens ST724 (model 924075), which has stopped powering forward when I press the drive clutch lever. I took off the bottom cover to see if it was something fairly easy to repair/replace, like a belt, and I found a broken spring lying in the cover. I'm guessing this is the root of my problem! I can't really afford to bring it to a shop, so I was hoping to be able to fix it myself. Here are a couple of details: - The auger seems to keep moving now, even when I release the clutch lever.
- For a while after it stopped powering forward, it DID work in reverse, but no longer does.
Here is a picture of the broken spring and the drive plate, etc.:    Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Nipper |
