I just went through this a couple months ago on my 50 216. It was driving me crazy why it wouldn't work trying to hook it up like the picture in the manual. I finally flipped the spring around, and now it works perfectly. It was a little harder to get the spring on the offset slot in the shaft, but that was what it took to make it work correctly.
