Starter rope won't retract after pulling? This recoil pulley and spring assembly fixes rope retraction issues on mowers and small engines. Direct fit.

This starter spring is a genuine OEM replacement part for chainsaws that operate using a starter rope. When an operator pulls the starter rope out, there is a pulley around which the rope then has to recoil. The starter spring maintains tension in the pulley so that the rope will naturally recoil. The starter spring also provides enough tension to prevent the operator from yanking the rope all the way out of the assembly. Through repeated use, and especially if an operator is rough on their appliance, the starter spring can loosen up and will no longer work as effectively. When this happens, the starter pulley will not recoil and the starter rope will hang loose from the appliance. Fortunately, switching out the starter spring is an easy repair that should only require a wrench and a pair of pliers. Be careful when pulling the old spring out. Although it isn't as tense as it once was, it still has the potential to snap back. This replacement starter spring is a high-quality part for Husqvarna, Poulan, and Weed Eater appliances, and as such, it is sourced from its original manufacturer. This part does not ship with any additional hardware.
