I tried several other methods for at least 1/2 hour. I was about to give up. My fingers and hands were dead tired. Then I found your video. Fixed the piece o' crap in 10 seconds. I'll be buying Stihl next, but I am forever grateful for your video. Thank you!
Homelite and craftsman weedwackers have the spring assisting the other spring starter system. I think some engineers smoke something funny and come up with these ideas. Thanks for another clear to the point video.👍
This video is very helpful. Thanks! Oh, and this man is very patient and persistent, and if a woman can’t get along with this man, I feel so sorry for her.
Many thanks for showing this. It was a complete mystery how I was going to get mine back in the housing.. I managed it after watching you do it..! So many many thanks for sharing this..
If you hadn't done one on purpose I sure wouldn't want to do one by accident! I'll take the old Briggs that you wind the spring in with a piece of wood. Thanks 4 this and pick me a tune!
Good job, I gave up on a Honda 1-1/2 hp water pump recoil. Honda gets huge money for their products. Finally found an aftermarket one that was o.k. and half the money.
Around 25 years ago I worked in a small factory that wound springs and loaded them into the spools, or cups for the engine manufacturers. If the hook end breaks you will need to soften the steel with a small torch or jet lighter until it's a dull cherry red (where you are going to bend a new hook). Let it cool slowly. The hardened spring steel will just break if you don't anneal it.
I hear ya! yeah, i've had them brake before after re-bending, i'll try that next time, never really thought about doing that. thanks for the tip. Thanks for Watching!!!
@@fnaguitarplayer9 It needs to be one of those micro torch or jet torch type lighters with the blue pointy flame. Your'e welcome. I would make a video, but I'm not that techie.
Had to do this on my old 5HP briggs when the starter rope broke.... Was not a happy camper. I think I could've wound it in the housing but I didn't realize that until I did it outside and reinstalled it, which was insanely difficult.

I wrestled with replacing the spring for 10 minutes until I found your video, got the task done in 10 seconds after watching. Thanks a ton for this!

This video did the trick, wresteled and cursing for 1h before I looked for a solution to solve this.

Yeah, I knew some other brands had it too, not sure who originally came out with it first. I know right!!! Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

THANKS! I would never have gone at this from this direction. Very helpful!

Your welcome, glad to help out! Thanks for Watching!!!
This is the second video I've seen on this, and I think I'll try this before I try the nail in the wood and tie wrap method.
I hate recoils. Happy to watch you do it though. :)
haha heard that! Thanks for Watching!!!
As usual, excellent video.
Appreciate that, Thanks for Watching!!!

Awesome thank you

That is hard to do it outside like that, had to do it on something, can't remember now. but it took forever to do! Thanks for Watching!!!
They are frustrating, that's for sure. I had to rewind one on a Redmax handheld leaf blower a while back, I had to fuss with that for quite a while.
Yes they are. Some red max's are harder to do, just how they are made. Thanks for Watching!!!
Kinda like hitting your thumb with a hammer on purpose.
If it would've been my channel, without any doubts, I would've been demonetized, reported and taken down @ 3:41.
hahaha I heard that! It was aggravating to make this video, but I thought it would be a good vid to put up haha Thanks for Watching!!!
