The manual switch does not engage, found a wire spring in the box?

1) Copy following links:

http://waterheatertimer.org/images/WH-lever-001-400.jpg
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-troubleshoot-Intermatic-timer.html

2) Examining the WH40 in my office, there is a clip washer that holds override lever in place against timer body.
This might be considered V-shaped spring.
Buy at local hardware store

I have a T10404R dual intermatic timer clock and I can only turn my pool pump on manually. The clock is working and it will turn off, but I can't get the ON pin to work despite replacing it with a new...

1) Troubleshoot walk-thru indicates that tripper is wrong, or timer mechanism is worn out:
Check that tripper is labeled ON, and compares similarly with old tripper, and is not worn down. Trippers are made of softer metal and designed to wear out before the timer mechanism wears out.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-troubleshoot-Intermatic-timer.html
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/WH-lever-005-500.jpg

2) Buy new timer mechanism: If the new ON tripper does not push the on-off lever, then timer mechanism is probably worn out.
Buy new T104M mechanism, and change out with existing mechanism using thumb spring located top inside box.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-trippers-and-parts.html#T100

3) How it works: The trippers rotate around on clock dial. Trippers come into contact with on-off lever, and trippers push lever.
On tripper pushes lever one direction. Off tripper pushes same lever other direction.
Each time the lever moves back and forth, the manual override also clicks with audible sound.
The lever moves a slide bar located on back of timer mechanism, and that action opens and closes electrical circuit.
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Back-of-WH40-2b-500.jpg

4) Since any timer mechanism can fit into the T10404R control panel, you can also buy and install T104M210 timer mechanism with fireman's switch that turns off heater 20 minutes before turning off pool pump.
For 2-speed pool pump, the digital P1353 can also be installed, and this timer would replace both timing mechanisms in the T10404R. Non-electronic timers are more reliable.

I have a noisy TORK model1101 24hrtime switch there is a broken spring in there and it won't switch OFF is it repairable or do I scrap it and Hunt for a new one? If you cant give me and answer with...

Fixya answers questions.
NSI is responsible for Tork.

Electro-mechanical timers make audible click noise when timer turns on-off.
T1101 spring is the time-carryover for power outage.

Buy another Tork T1101 and swap out insides without changing box:
Take photo of wiring before making changeover.

Replace Tork with Intermatic T-101 120V timer
T101R for weathertight
Amazon for T101
