Common Problems Fixed by the Recoil Starter

About the Recoil Starter

The recoil starter assembly engages the crankshaft to turn over the engine. If the recoil starter assembly is defective, the engine won’t turn over and the chainsaw won't start. Remove the starter assembly and inspect it to see if it is functioning properly. When you pull the starter rope, tabs extending from the pulley and cam should grab the hub on the engine, causing the engine to turn. When you release the rope, the tabs should retract and the rope should rewind back on the pulley. If the recoil starter assembly is not functioning properly, replace it.
