Husqvarna Chainsaw Starter

If your chainsaw rope won't retract after pulling, the starter spring likely needs replacement. This spring creates the recoil to start the engine.

This replacement starter spring is a genuine OEM model from Husqvarna. The starter spring, also sometimes called the recoil spring or recoil starter spring, is part of the entire starter assembly. It attaches to the fan and flywheel housing and is responsible for helping to retract the starter rope when it is pulled to engage the engine. Over time, the spring can wear out or become twisted. This can cause the starter rope to no longer retract or it can even seize up the entire starter assembly. Replacement of the spring is the only option and this OEM part can provide an exact fit for select engines. This part is designed for use with blowers, edgers, trimmers, and pruners that feature Husqvarna engines and that are manufactured by brands like Weed Eater, Poulan, and Husqvarna themselves. The starter spring is made of durable metal and is sold individually. Always disengage the spark plug and allow the engine to cool completely before beginning and repair projects, and protect the hands by wearing gloves.

Fix a chainsaw that won't pull-start or has a broken recoil cord. This starter pulley connects the recoil mechanism to engage the engine during starting.

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.

This is an OEM replacement starter pulley kit designed for use with gas chainsaws. The starter pulley assembly replaces the components of your recoil starter that may fail due to normal wear and tear. The pulley and return spring react to the pull of the starter rope and then engage the flywheel. This is what fires the chainsaw engine. If the starter rope is not reacting or the flywheel is not engaging, there may be an issue with the starter pulley assembly. This repair can be completed with a screwdriver and pliers and doesn’t take a lot of time. This starter pulley kit is a genuine product from Husqvarna, and it is designed for use with Poulan, Jonsered, and Husqvarna engines and outdoor power equipment. This kit includes the plastic pulley, return spring, hub, and two screws for securing the unit. The housing, rope, and starter grip will be sold separately if replacements are needed.
