    Yeah, you gotta fix the state recoil before you can trouble shoot the rest of it. Good clean repair!

    Great video. For as many years as I’ve been working on this stuff, recoil starters are the one thing I seem to have the least success with. Usually I find broken, missing or warped pieces inside and it’s not worth screwing around with them since replacements are cheap and plentiful. This was very helpful, I’d much rather save the original if it’s all there than replace it with a cheap aftermarket knock-off.

    I know it’s bad to do but I kind of hoard mowers sometimes if I think they’re worth it. I bought a Husqvarna awd for $40 and thought it only had a carb problem. Ended up being a bad camshaft. Anyways I found another husky that was missing all kinds of parts. Took the ones off the $40 made the other one look like new and sold it for $175. Always worth keeping your stuff.

    I have a hard time giving up on any of them if I know I can fix it eventually
