Many thanks helped me fix my generator
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I ordered a pull start (it fits) but I don’t know
how to put it on! I think I need a pawl or something idk what that is
though.
Gonna try this tomorrow on my yard man mower. Thanks brothaman.
thanks dude !..
My spring was bigger and harder to wind. I used a board, put in a screw.
attach outter hook of spring to the screw. attach center hook spring to a
drill and slowly wind. The spring will wind and get tighter. Once the
spring is to the size you need, slip a zip tie (cable tie) around the
spring to hold it. remove the screw and you should be able to lift the
spring without it unwinding. put the spring back into the housing and
carefully slip off the cable tie. It took me a few tries to perfect it, but
much easier than trying to do by hand.
Thank you doggie. Fixed my honda 3 wheelers pull start.
thanks, fixed mine a while back, gotta do it again, wanted to know if I
could get some more use out of it
The pull start keeps catching when it winds back in a don’t no y please cud
u help x
Thanks Man, I hope this is what it looks like when I go to fix the pull
start on my atc 110
Great vid……I think everyone has had trouble with those recoil springs
at one time or another.
@scrapbookcutters Hey great job…..Glad to help!
I did what you said, but for some reason the pull start locks up and wont
turn anything, I dont know if the engine is stuck or something.
great video thanks man!
Dont have one here to make a video on… but thanks for watching!
@tomitomtom same here
Yeah they are a pain… I cant tell you how many times I’ve gotten them soo
close, then that sucker will go flying and tangle up! Just keep trying and
be careful its sharp.
@TheMattz23 Not sure what your talking about… so your rope snapped…
what do you mean by the middle one?
Thanks sir. I need to do this on a generator (Honda GX390motor) and it seem
pretty straightforward.
Thank you for posting this, it helped me a lot, I fixed an ice auger this
way. Thanks again
if you have $50 to spend, there is a tool called EZ coil that will make
this much easier. if not, this works too.
Cool man do you have to do anything different with the newer modles like a
troy-bilt that has spring assist starting…… I want to do it myself but
I also dont want to mess anything up?
@black93z28camaro If it aint one thing it’s another…. that’s the way it
goes! As long as you have good spark, getting air and fuel, and good
compression it should run. Not knowing a thing about yours… if its sat,
clean the carb make sure the jets are clean, try a new plug might be really
flooded if it wont start with starting fluid, as long as it has good
compression it should run.
@reptile3iguana Hey thanks for watching!
You spliced the video where the work is acutally performed, how’d you get
the giant spring down.dammit!!
That’s for the post !!! Great help !!
@JBakez31 Hey not a problem… Thanks for watching!
@janemargeret Hey very happy to help and thanks for watching! Yeah I’ve
heard that it’s sometimes easier that way, thanks for the tip to add!
Thanks again!
thank you man!! you saved my day!
ok, I watched this video, applied it, but the way I tensioned up the coil
was that i gripped the inner hook with a pair of vice-grips and pulled,
until I got too flusterated because the thing kept getting loose and
wrapped around my thumb. so i wounded it on the reel and put it inside the
housing and it worked fairly good. I installed it back on my ATV, pulled,
and it grabbed the flywheel the 1st time, but the other time, thing just
spinned. Couldn’t get the arm to work properly.
Do you think by cleaning the pull rope housing it will fix it? I havent
took the pully off or anything, I just took the housing off the motor and
drained the water out. If not what else could be making the noise? Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you
@br4nd0n136 Now what happened?
@jfrost77hd I might try changing the plug just for the hell of it. It has
sat for 3-4 years. I don’t really know shit about carbs. I am used to
working on cars with fuel injection lol. So take the carb off and clean it
up? How do you go about cleaning the jets out?
Thank you so much I worked on my pull start for two hours and finally gave
up.Was going to take it to a shop until I got the bright idea to you tube
ihow to fix it. With your help fixed my three wheeler in ten minutes thanks
again my son cant wait to ride.
Sounds like you have more wrong than the recoil. Do you know if the engine
runs or not, it might be siezed up.
good video

@will4918 Hey thanks for watching!
I just got an 85 Yamaha YTM 200 3 wheeler. When I got it I noticed the pull
rope was wet, I took the pull rope housing off the motor and mud and water
ran out of it and its a bit rusty on the little nut that holds the plastic
pully on, and the little lever that comes out and catches the rotor when
you pull it. My problem is I drove it today and while its running the pull
rope housing is making a constant grinding/rattling noise inside and its
driving me nuts. What could be wrong?
