Having trouble getting my starter set up working
I've replaced rewind spring and rope.
This model has the wrap around spring, then cassette holder for same, followed by a plastic housing that catches rewind spring and houses starter rope, then another spring that sits in this housing, followed by the plastic pawl that engages the F Wheel and then a screw that holds the pawl to the plastic housing (that catches rewind spring.)
I can get the rope to recoil, if I don't tighten the screw that holds the pawl to the plastic housing, snug. (while separated from saw)
If I tighten snug, the rope wont pull out but if I loosen a little, the rope will recoil. (separate from the saw)
But, when I attach to FW, it still wont recoil and the rope is left dangling.
I've tried different number of revolutions for the spring, the most 8 and the least 3.5. Makes no difference.
Bought same diameter rope and correct rewind spring.
I would just take it to a shop but I have too many hours trying to figure out why it wont recoil.
