This authentic OEM sourced part is specially made for use with Poulan and Husqvarna chainsaws. The purpose of this spring is to retract the starter assembly, unfortunately, over time it may loose tension or get damaged eventually requiring a replacement. Please make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams of your model for the exact location and application of this hardware. Keep in mind it is made of durable metal and is sold individually.

Just what I needed
Once my parts shipped, they got here quickly. Same parts as factory, perfect fit. Got my saw back up and running in no time. Just be sure not to over-wind the new spring or it’ll bind up.

My chain saw was no longer working. Not only did ReplacementParts.com have the parts I needed but also had detailed videos on how to do the job. The chain saw is working great now!

I removed 4 screws holding the housing and removed the housing from the saw, then removed the screw holding the old pull start assembly and removed it. I placed the new recoil spring in the housing and then the cord hub, the eps spring and outer retainer that engages the flywheel. I found that the screw holding the assembly to the flywheel was too short. When tightened it would not allow the string to recoil. I put a small washer under the shoulder of the screw which allowed me to tighten the assembly and also allowing the string to recoil. The washer was not included in the kit or mentioned in the instructions, so you have to improvise. I made it by cutting a wire termination end which turned out to be the right size on the inside and outside. I had been dealing with this issue for some time and Poulan customer service gave me no help in resolving it.

I took advantage of the replacement information provided by eReplacementParts. I followed the direction and safety procedures provided and knew what to expect when I removed the old parts, and how to deal with situations that could occur during the replacement portion. The directions were easy to follow and the repair went off without any "glitches"

Chainsaw starter recoil spring came loose
Martin - September 22, 2022
Tool Type
Chain Saw
Difficulty
Hard
Time
1-2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Tongue depressors, wire cutters
Parts Used
1. Placed new spring in the recessed cavity provided, still tightly coiled and bound by the nylon strap used by ereplacementparts for shipping.
2. Inserted two tongue depressors on edge through the vent louvers (Poulan Pro 2075) to hold coiled spring in the recessed cavity.
3. Carefully guided the spring’s end hook into its retaining slot.
4. Carefully clipped 2” sections of the restraining nylon strap and removed them.
5. Carefully removed the tongue depressors, while using my thumb to keep the tightly coiled spring from bursting out of its recessed cavity.
6. Finished replacing the starter rope spool and the starter rope without incident.
ADVICE: This is a tricky operation. Be patient and deliberate. Don’t let that coiled spring burst out of its recessed cavity or you will be right back at Square One.
