Chainsaw Recoil Spring Replacement
craftsman 358.350461 16 inch saw. The recoil rope wouldnt' return. I
pulled the cover and couldn't get it to budge. I tried to carefully remove the winding cover and it sprung. Spring looks OK so I don't know why it stuck. How do I rewind the spring and get it back in. Can I buy a pre-wound spring assembly I can just drop in Inner end has a round loop. Does that just fit in the slot in the hub? Other end is just a bent "u" shape. There is a post I assume this goes around. Any suggestions or a good place to look on the net for a step by step replacement of a recoinl spring? Thanks in advance! |

If you want to go "lo-tech" the Reader's Digest or Better Homes and Gardens Home or some other such ilk at your local library should have stepXstep instructions, with photos. |

Use Google with a phrase such as: repair starter rope ; and you'll get lots of hits. |
