I liked , good job , great video . Just what I needed .

I love this no-nonsense, straightforward style of video! Thanks so much!

This is probably the best video on KZfaq about reinstalling the starter cord.

Out of all the starter cord fix videos on the internet this is the best. Thank you!

I was stuck at re-installing the spring. Your instruction on that portion and thereafter saved me. Thank you so much.

Looked at a few videos. This is the same model starter I have. No special tools. No nailing it to a board and using a drill + zip ties :s So simple. That’s the way I’ll be doing it. Cheers mate.

My pull starter just quit working so I ordered the pulley with spring, pawl friction plate assembly and rope. I watched this video then disassembled mine. The spring was the problem as I suspected. I hadn't thought too much about how to wind up the spring until I received the new parts. There is no notch on the outside of the pulley to engage the rope for winding it like the old styles have. In 78 - 79 I worked at a lawnmower shop and learned a lot, but a lot has changed the way things are made. The new pull starter system is actually easier to wind. A welders vise grip will make this job easier to hold the pulley from turning while installing the rope or something similar. Just clamp the steel housing between the pulley webing. This will prevent the pulley from turning I'm going to feed a skinny screwdriver through the housing and out the hole in the pulley, then attach a needle nose vise grip onto the screwdriver to hold the pulley so I can install the rope because I don't have a welders vise grip. I personally will allow the pulley to have atleast one revolution left after the rope has extended to guarantee the spring won't get damaged if wound too tight because the spring bottomed out before the rope extended all the way out. I was taught, you only need to wind it 6 - 8 times, but it also depends on how log the rope is. Great video! 👍🧓

Thanks for including the torque spec of the friction plate bolt - is the only place I've found it. I think I messed mine up over torqeing before I found this video so have ordered new parts. I didn't even notice the music so many have complained about - sheesh! Guess I was laser focused on your explanation!

The pull rope broke on my mower and I couldn't figure out how to re-tension the spring. Your video showed me how. Thanks!

EXCELLENT!!! Much better than the other three I just watched. You showed how to resolve more problems AND how to test operation before reassembly. Thanks

Omg. I have been looking for this video the whole day until I found it. Wonderful tutorial. Just what I needed. Thank you so much

People like you make save people like me a ton of money.. but was a bit apprehensive going in with the spring winding and other steps. It couldn’t have been easier. Thank You!

You got me going again at 7:30 PM after the hardware store was closed. I got my wife's late season garden tilled tonight thanks to your video.

MOTO: Wow ! x10 ! Great Video ! Looks just like my B&S Troy TF 220 with a broken rope.. The information on the loop in the inside of the recoil spring was my issue, not broken, the hook in the case was so dirty I didn't even know it was there. Followed your directions and got it on the third try. THANK YOU, THANK YOU ! Richard "The Happy" ------------------------------

Best and easy instructional video on how to fix the pulley rope on lawnmower. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best video I've seen on fixing recoils. Thanks.

I watched a few videos before finding this one, and the detail is appreciated, knowledgable, and fantastic! Got mine going like new!

Thanks heaps mate. Ya saved my bacon. Really appreciate the time and effort you have put in to help other people , Your'e a gem

It worked for me.thanks for the tip. my spring was not engaging on inner catch pivot screw. Rewound tip of spring and followed your guidance. Great.

Thanks to this video I was able to fix my starter and I just finished mowing the loan. I am so grateful for that vid. WOW. I thought I would have to get my mower to the service.

Great video. The spring popped out when I was replacing the starter pull rope so this had exactly the steps I needed to put everything back together. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this video... my spring and rope failed. But with your help it was so easy to fix. Thanks again.

Great video...you've saved me some time and money. It's already installed and works great! Thank you so much.

Clear, easy and concise info here! Great video, thanks! Now to go do this on mine after a pull cord break!😊👍

Ugh, didn't think to look up a video till I lost pieces I didn't know I lost till I watched this video. This is an incredible video "Thank you for making it"

Thanks for the great how to video. You explained everything so it all made sense to me and demonstrated how to solve the problem I was trying to fix. It was a simple and speedy repair. Replacing a broken starter rope and the spring had come out too. The part about aligning the top cap for the pawls was a great tip. Parts were only about $5. Thanks again.

Thanks for the great video. It made it possible for me to keep my 9 year old Toro working a bit longer. Well done.

Thank you. I could not have fixed the recoil starter without your video!

Definitely the best of the videos on this subject. Only improvement I had to make was getting the rope through the eyelets - really tough to line it up and get it through, so I straightened out a paper clip and inserted it into the end of the rope to stiffen it up so I could push it through easily. Thank you for great instruction!

Thank you. Best video I've seen. My first time ever replacing a starter rope and your video helped me so much

I haven’t tried this yet because I have to go buy a retainer kit, but thank you for this video you showed me why my recoil wasn’t catching and how to fix my problem!!!

By far the best and simplest method on Utube

thank you very much. I watched several videos and by far your video is the best .. I will be giving this a try in the morning..

I don,t comment much unless it's really good, it's really good! Thanks exactly what I needed, I was just about to take it to a small engine repair shop.

I replaced my recoil starter and rope using your detail instruction video . Thanks

I didn't read any of the other comments, but I did notice the 44 thumbs down... How disappointing. I think the people that gave the thumbs down just completely have no mechanical ability whatsoever. I watch this video, I work on lawn mowers frequently, and still learn new things. :-) great job on this video A+

Great video, thanks for sharing. This video fits perfectly for my Snapper Briggs & Stratton 8.75 engine.

Out of all the videos, this is the one that helped me. Thanks

Hey Sir, you're the man, the best who has explained this matter, thanks a lot!

Excellent video, thanks fr being so thorough!

Thanks for the video. Just what I needed to fix my tiller pull cord. Saved me plenty of time. Was able to fix my issue in less than 5 minutes.

Exelent video. I will try tomorrow and I’m very confident that I’ll have my lawnmower working again thanks a lot👍

Just what I was looking for, Thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Exactly what I needed....my brother-in-law will never get his hands on my mower again!

Very helpful video! the epic music in the background is classic

Super helpful. Sorted my rotavator tonight. With thanks, Sam - Liskeard, Cornwall

Best video I have seen on fixing recoil spring.

Thanks for the video. I would have never figured this out by myself. My OEM Briggs and Stratton spring came with the inside hook bent the opposite way. Not sure why, but I did buy the OEM spring that was specified by my manual. Once I bent the hook around the other way (hook bent counter clockwise) then it all went well. I hope I did not weaken the metal. This video saved me a lot of headache and time.

Best video on this subject i have seen,thanks.

This is the best video for dealing with thre recoil spring!!!

Very clear and just what I wanted to see. Thank you.

I did at you suggest and now work good! Thanks again.

Great video, thanks. Exactly what I needed.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Good Job!!!

This video makes it look easy. Thank you!

Thanks for saving me some money! I've learned to maintain shits because of these helpful instructional vids ;-)

This was very good, thanks!

Excellent and super clear video - VERY HELPFUL!!!

Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I needed to see.

Thank you so much, I am pretty much mechanically declined and thanks to you I fixed mine. A million thanks.

Thanks for the video just fixed my mower!

Excellent video!! thank you very much for taking the time to show me how to properly do this. God Bless

Well done - helped me figure out my problem.

Simply The best on YT thank you

Thank you! I have a half inch cut on my right knuckle but I always do that whenever I attempt an engine project. Your instructions were spot on. I had to drill out the entrance way into the plastic ring as the rope was too thick to pass through. Other than that and a few cuss words it went back and the mower is running!! 👍🏻

Same as comment below. Tried a few ways to get spring. If all fails ask an expert. Saved me a heap of time

Thank you, just what I needed.

Thanks, excellent video it was very helpful.

Just the instructions I needed! Thank you!

Thanks - this is what I've been looking for. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I am now the proud owner of a mower that can actually be started. So much Thank. Very High-Five. Such Mow. Wow! Thank you sir. :)

Great music choice. Getting buzzed on my day off fixing my mower and I almost transcended.

Many thanks, just perfect for my rebuild.

Replace as needed. Saved my ass man and money... Thanks for the video

You are amazing, thank you so much!!! Worked a treat

Tanks for the video! Helped me a lot.

Very useful video, thanks!

Great video. Perfectly done! 🙂

Excellent explanation. Great job.

Thanks boss. Will try and fix this tomorrow on my old lawn mower. 👍

thank you for video just what I needed to fix my auger

Perfect. Exactly what i needed... thanks

Excellent Video - Thank You.

Very detailed. Nice job. Sometimes inserting the rope through the eyelet hole isn't easy due to fraying of cord end. Heating the frayed end momentarily with a lighter and then pinching the melted frays together and allowing the end to cool makes it easier to thread into the hole.

Very helpful video. Thanks,

Thank you for the video, I wish I watched this first before trying to fix it without prior knowledge. Just a quick FYI, IF you do turn the pulley clockwise it will damage the spring, however it's a very simple fix. You just have to bend the spring back into shape again. Ask me how I know this lol. This tutorial also applies for the 499901 pulley.

Great video, thanks for that.

Thank you so much! Very well explained. Was super usefull.

Nice presentation!

Great guide. Thanks.

Great thanks. Figured I could do this myself with no research and it was a 2-hour disaster. Should have come here first

GREAT VIDEO JEZ

Excellent video. Saved me a bunch of money AND I learned something new! +1 Skill 'Lawn Mover Repair'.....now I just need 'Toaster Repair' skill ;)

No doubt you are Tec, (SME) Subject Matter, Expert; I will nevertheless forget the ease of doing this task again. Thank you!!
