Bennie: One handy tip that will work on some of these springs is to coil it by hand OUTSIDE the machine, then put a zip tie (cable tie) around it and put it in the machine. You can then snip the zip tie and you're in business. Be sure to coil it slightly smaller than it needs to be, as they will expand somewhat after you put the cable tie on it. This may or may not work on your saw depending on the exact configuration of the spring and its holder, but it will work on many recoils.

Yup - just like Jeff said - just clean it up hook the end of it and start re-winding. Done many times on a Stihl, and I assume the others are similar. By the way, if the end hook is broken off, I have heated the spring red, bent the hook back in it and quenched it in water. Its a patch job but will get you by for a while.

Well Haha , now that you have it out you can clean it with a rag and a little WD40. You will see there is a hook at the end of the coil that hooks into a slot in the frame. You just slowly start to wind the spring around the inside of the loop. Lots of time and care. After you do a few you can get them back in within 5 minutes. They come all nice and wrapped with a little tie wrap or plastic shrink on them. Just drop them in and cut the wrap. You can do it. Don't screeeee eeeemmm too much. Jeff

Never had to do it before, but I am sure you can put the coil back in it. I've had to replace the pulley that the pull rope and dogs on the flywheel a few times on an old McCollough that my father had.

What kind of saw is it? I've got a Poulan 16" that is worn out. The starter rope and assembly is in good condition.
