How do I fix a recoil starter spring?

Answer by  swamisarge (283)

Untie and remove the handle/pullcord from the spool. Remove the spring and the broken end piece Grind/file a new shape in the spring end to fit the spool. Reassemble spool and spring then wind the spring 4-7 turns, stopping when the cord hole is closest to the cord feed. Secure with a C-clamp. Rethread the pullcord and retie.

Rewind your recoil starter spring by using a easy coil. It works well in the clockwise position. Tighten the handle so it doesn't unscrew or apply thread locker.
