Its a ***** getting the coils back in and wound correctly. I just called up Horizon and they sent me out a free replacement.

It is tough to get the spring back in coiled and connected properly...can be done, and is a bit satisfying when you do get it right.  I spent a few hours on mine once...lots of yelling and 6 beers and it finally worked.  If you have the patience, go for it.....if not...then just buy another

I got it to work after a few slices from the metal spring when I tried to hold it down with my thumb and pulling it tight with my other hand.

I had a Pullstart on an M26SS that it came factory with and pulled it off and replaced with a spinstart after the spring broke twice and the hex hub on the pullstart stripped out. If yours keeps breaking, You might want to switch to a spinstarter instead.. I think its a lot less work and gets the engine running faster, IMO.
