About the Recoil Spring

When the starter rope is pulled and let go the recoil spring is supposed to recoil the rope onto a pulley. If the recoil spring is broken the rope can't be recoiled onto the pulley which will prevent it from turning over the engine, and then it does not start. Many recoil springs can be replaced but it's sometimes easier to replace the whole recoil starter assembly.
