Starter won't pull freely or rope doesn't retract? This recoil starter spring retracts the pull cord and activates your engine. Simple DIY repair in minutes.

Rope won't retract or pulls out unevenly? This starter pulley assembly stores and releases the pull rope to engage your leaf blower's flywheel and motor.

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.

String trimmer won't start or rope won't retract? This starter pulley keeps the starter rope aligned for reliable engine starting. Simple DIY fix.

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.
