Just got my new pull and the spring came out of the case...any trick`s on how to recoil it..?

thats sucks. take it all apart, and then just recoil it slowly.

PRAY!! or hopes and dreams!!!!

Big trouble...opened my pull start and the back plate came off and wow the spring came out almost took my finger off..! Now I`m trying to re-coil it and hav-n a heck of a time...!

pull starts are the spawn of satan. i would just buy a starter box and not fool with another pull start ever.

I used pull starters for years before I got my buggy. If you have a well-tuned engine and use them properly they are not that bad. I have fixed a few but for the most part have not had a lot of problems with them. But yes a starter box is the way to go.

i just fixed a pullstart and my friends out of different engine his just came out and was tricky enough to wide back in where as my spring snapped n i hada tirmm it exactly re wind it up and put on pullstart string handle again took about 1hr 30 mins as was my frist time but saved me £18 and trip to shop.

I've got to admit I quite like pull starts. I wouldn't use them on serious racing engines but when you want to pick up your buggy and bash to kill some time they are great. No lugging starter boxes and batteries around. The only time I've had a problem is when the knot has come undone and the string needs fishing out of the housing.

I know everyone hate`s pullstarter`s...but I agree when it come`s to just running around a parking lot there`s alot less to carry...I`ve had some good luck with some old RC`s and I agree with 46u... As for my broke starter I fixed it and It work`s great and if your mill is tuned right it`s a great thing...what a PAIN...To re-coil the spring in the housing you need three hand`s with small finger`s and don`t forget to wear safety glasses...!
