Used it today! Needed the part about where the internal spring notch catches on the notch oart of the housing assembly... Then learned I can't turn more than 7 times without it popping off... Got everything assembled with the pull cord replaced with diamond cord kit and VOILA! Started right up! Bless You Brother 🙏👍
I am a woman and watched this video and just fixed my lawn mower and I did have to pause and look at mine and this was the best video as he showed and explained and he deserved a pant on his back for a excellent tutorial demonstration of recoil starter spring .Thank you
Extremely useful video , thank you. Seeing the inner end of the spring being bent showed me that my spring had bent when it came loose. I re-bent it and jiggled it like you did and it went home. Also the way the ratchets work helped because I'd put the top cap on 90 degree wrong and the ratchets didn't come out. Thanks heaps !
Great video, easy to understand and no excessive talking. Also he explains things very well so that I'm right on track not rewinding over and over. I like how he said "if this pops off I'm still gonna post it cuz that's real life." That is very true, smart man 👍 hope you keep it up, UA-camr's could take a good lesson on how to make a informative videos the right way.
Thank you so much, I accidentally let the spring loose when replacing the pull cord, if I hadn’t managed to fix that spring I would never have been able to watch master mechanics Ed China on Wheeler Dealers or Fuzz Townsend in Car SOS again, I’d have felt such a loser, but you saved my pride and my pocket, god bless you sir, and I got suntan in my back yard 😎
Thanks for this demo. In my opinion, it was by far the best option I found here on the tube of you. Mission accomplished in the first attempt. Thanks again.
THANK YOU! I had planned to mow today and my pull broke early on. Then I dropped the assembly while taking it apart and BOING! I had no idea how to put the spring back in. Your video and 3 attempts later, I was back in the game. Good work.
You gotta love those little " MAN " victories. Happy to help, but You did the work so YOU get the credit. Congrats my friend, stay safe and healthy. 👍😷🍻
I was able to get my spring wound with a few modification to your process. The main problem was I kept ending up with the center hole being too small to fit over the round protrusion in the center of the spring well. The modification was to place a stack of three quarters in the center of the spring and then wind around that. I suppose any strong disk of about that size would have worked but a stack of coins is what I thought of first. Also, wrapping around the stack of quarters seemed to make the wrap more stable. Of course this could have been me getting better at it with each try. The other modification was simply to cut the heads off the nails, to make it easier to lift the coiled spring up away from the nails without the spring catching the heads. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Thanks for this video. Found myself in the exact scenario you described with the spring on the floor, swearing at myself! Was able to wind up perfectly with the two nails.
Easier way. Start by hooking the spring to the housing where it's going to end up. Then wind the spring backwards. The housing holds it in place so you can use both hands.
Totally solved my problem! Thanks for sharing this. I was close to a solution, but needed exactly this to solve it 100%. So pleased people like you share videos like this to fix everyday stuff instead of spending money on buying new stuff. I have a different model mower but basics are the same. Stay safe and healthy everyone during the Covid-19 nightmare, and thanks once again from Denmark, Europe
Having rebuilt several starter recoils over the past 50 years I would strongly suggest you wear safety glasses. That spring could pop out of the housing with a lot of force and .....
Thanks for the video!! Great information .ive been searching for the reason i wasnt getting any tension or recoil.. and i just felt really stupid as you explained it and showed me how easy it is.. lol
thank you...i had the same housing etc. and didn't even realize that it was the spring that was the issue aside from the broken rope....your video was great and I just subscribed. Cheers from British Columbia
Nice video. It helped me a lot. I ended up doing a slight variation of this method and was able to rewind the old spring that had popped out. I ended up hooking the outer bend to the notch on the wheel, then took a needle nose vise grip and just wound the inner hook. until it was tight and small to drop in the hole. The only drawback was the inner hook was not as level with the rest of the spring and I had to force down to make it not stick out Your method would eliminate what I encountered.
rukshun Thanks for the comment. Sometimes I do like you described but look at this spring before I start winding it. Its in a big S shape and a little more difficult. The important thing is you went for it and got the victory! My first attemp 20 starters ago did not go this smooth. Truth! Take care and Thanks for watching.👍
Glad I watched your version of this fix. I already did a recoil of the spring, and everything seemed right except the little catch pegs wouldn't pop out. I knew something wasn't right...and I suspected I was missing a "small part"...yep...the center spring is nowhere to be seen. I'll get out the magnet rake and sweep the area I was working on it.
Its okay brother. I get humbled alot! Now we are both smarter for the mistake. Employers call that "experience". Thanks for commenting and I hope you subscribe.
I havent taken mine all the way apart but got new rope in and wont get tight even though the 2 finger things are comming out when i turn it in one direction
I was replacing my cord today and I accidentally pulled the spring apart. I then used brute force and managed to tighten the spring, it took several attempts, my left hand was so sore and about to give up but I persisted, and it worked. Just putting it out there, that it is possible to do it without tools.
I'm also curious as hell to know what the voices in your head were telling you about 3/4 of the way through. I'm not gonna lie, it was nerve wracking for me.lol
The voices in my head were saying, "you're screwed now", but my hands were saying "you can do it!". I had nitrile gloves on, not that it would save me from injury, but it did provide the grip needed. Would I do it again? yes, because I know it's possible, and there is a bit of technique to it. However, I now know that you can buy the entire recoil starter unit, which includes the pawls, cord and the housing, all ready to go, for just $19 AUD.
Enraged didn't even begin to describe how I felt when that damn thing uncoiled free just when I was putting the damn thing back together. Spent a good bit of time yelling at it and trying to wind it back up with my fingers. Thanks for showing an easier way to do it.
Ahh yes - an official unit of measurement, "the squidge"! I can't count how many squidges I have in my garage. Yep - "squidges" and "real life". How true, how true! I would SUBSCRIBE, but I already had. Great job!

I just subscribed. Thank you. I needed to know this information because i want to make a gunslinger from tf2, and the gunslinger has a pull cord on it. (Remember to hold the spring) Thank you again for your help.
@@ZombieDaveAZThanks, man. I managed to coil it up 3 times so far. That means 3 fails when it comes to making it bite when put back in the housing. I copied your method but cut a small piece of wood with the nails in so I can rotate that . Plus use a small stick to keep it flat. It's a mixture of defusing a bomb and trying to put a cat in a sack such was the sweating. Gonna try again after a beer!
I just wind the Spring inside of its holder. It's a whole lot easier than doing it the way he is. I want to know an easy way. Upsetting the Spring. After you get it rewind because it is hooked on both ends. I noticed when I took some of these Springs had tape on them. Still doesn't help. When you're hooking to spring on two ends
Happy to help. How are you guys doing in the netherlands now? Here in Arizona we are just now getting the full brunt of the covid. Stay safe and thanks for the comment. 🍺👍😷
@@ZombieDaveAZ It is going quite well in the Netherlands. Almost no new people with corona. You only need to wear a mask in public transport. Furthermore, keep 1.5 meters (6 feet) away from others. If you feel sick you must stay at home and you will be tested. Everyone works from home as much as possible, including me for 4 months now. Our government makes decisions based on science and what the experts say. Explains everything clearly on TV and shares all information honestly and also says that they have to make decisions based on the data they have at the moment, so it can sometimes be wrong but they do everything to keep it under control .We (our family) have all been ill but we were not tested (there were not enough tests in the beginning), so we don't know if we have had it. More and more companees are opening up but people are all very careful. Young people see few problems and want more and more freedom, so there will still be new outbreaks, but the hospitals can handle the pressure. I am afraid of the second wave after the summer, but we are now better prepared than in January. time will tell. Stay strong and safe. Greetings Mark
A safer and easier way would be to buy a Pulley and Spring Assembly, Briggs & Stratton, part #498144, Amazon US $17.15 (Apr 2024). Remove the old pulley & spring assembly, drop the new one in place, rewind it counter clockwise 7 times, line up the rope entrance way on the plastic pulley with the hole on the steel shroud, insert a screw driver to hold it in place, tie a knot on a new rope and insert it through the plastic pulley and out through the steel shroud, hold the rope and remove the screwdriver an slowly let the pulley turn clockwise until it comes to a stop. I have 2008 Toro lawn mower.
I can't be sure but sometimes I drink. When I drink, I dont think. That's an excellent idea that I never thought of. Thanks for the comment and stay safe🍺👍😷
WHAT IS UP with all the "crazy neighbors" who for some odd reason always feel compelled to tap their horn every time they pass ones house!? I mean, if I'm out in the front yard and you can physically SEE me and there's a chance I can SEE who it is blowing, fine, I get it, tap away. But I'm all the time having folks "BLAAGH BLAAGH! When I'm not even out there! They don't even know if I'm home. They don't even know if I'm in the dang STATE! ...but you can bet they blowin! Now how am I supposed to know WHICH one of the 50 people you are that is constantly tapping the dang horn every time you drive by??? People ARE crazy man!
Really Brian?Anyway is a common adverb used to mean “in any case,” while any way is an adjective-noun phrase that means “whichever path” or “in any manner.” Anyways is the informal form of anyway. Consider me informal. 😷🍺👍
Absolutely it would be easier but not all of us like to do things the easy way. The way I see it is like this. You can load the mower and take it to a shop and have someone else repair it. OR you can search on Amazon and get the spring and pulley like you suggested. Then there's guys like me that enjoy fixing things but need a little guidance. So we go to UA-cam and see how others do the repair. Then make the repair. It gives you a good feeling when you do stuff with your own hands. 🍺👍😷
I almost made the mistake of trying the methods suggested in this video. Then the next suggested video was the official Briggs & Stratton video on how to do this repair. They have a much simpler technique and no need to worry about the spring flying back at you.
Post the link please. If you can get any spring started you can feed it in. The KEY is getting it started. Don't be mislead, even after 1 wind that spring is now holding energy and can get you. Thanks for watching and be safe.
Hi Josh, thats because the soring did not catch on the center part. If you are sure that it IS catching in the middle, you are winding th rope the opposite way of how it should be. You will get it just have a little patience. 👍
Listen to what I say @0:37 . Im speaking in the 3rd person as if you may have attempted to replace a rope or spring and you somehow managed to have the spring unload on you. You are correct. No need to remove the pulley to replace a rope. 👍
@Benny Russell Most people are here because we searched how to recoil the pull start. It's pretty self explanatory when replacing a pull rope, don't think there would be much of a video on a simple job like a pull rope.
HI Dave, I would like to contact you regarding the use of this clip in a video I am producing. Could you please share your email so i can send you the details? Thanks, Stevi
Hi Dave, Still looking for clearance for this content. Honestly, this is a fair and honest request from a producer (myself) based in Sydney, Aus looking for your permission to use a section of one of your films in a clients online video. The video to be produced focusses on how people can teach themselves almost anything through UA-cam and we think your videos are a great example of this and would be great supporting content. You can contact me at stevi.russell@vmlyr.com as I have mentioned below. If you don't wish to communicate I wont bother you further. Thanks S
@@stevirussell3180 whoops sorry I forgot about this . You have my permission to use whatever you need. Does that work? Email me at zombiedaveaz@gmail.com
Life? Is this the best it's going to get? If so, can I just use my u tube app, press the bottom of screen to the end part ? "My ass still going to post it" Ty hank hill. Maybe on the next video boomhouser can do the best way of rewinding ideas?
The best way to do that is to hook the other end of the spring into the pulley and loop the spring and sit it down in the pulley one loop at a time till it's in.
True but some spots where you try to start the hook wont let you. I have anothet video of doing exactly what you said on a little 2 stroke trimmer or something. Thanks brother.

OR you can search on Amazon and get the spring and pulley like you suggested. Then there's guys like me that enjoy fixing things but need a little guidance. So we go to UA-cam and see how others do the repair. Then make the repair. It gives you a good feeling when you do stuff with your own hands. 🍺👍😷
@@ZombieDaveAZ 😆 lol
I almost made the mistake of trying the methods suggested in this video. Then the next suggested video was the official Briggs & Stratton video on how to do this repair. They have a much simpler technique and no need to worry about the spring flying back at you.
Post the link please. If you can get any spring started you can feed it in. The KEY is getting it started. Don't be mislead, even after 1 wind that spring is now holding energy and can get you. Thanks for watching and be safe.
When I try put the rope round it’s clicks and doesn’t take the rope around and has no resistance
Hi Josh, thats because the soring did not catch on the center part. If you are sure that it IS catching in the middle, you are winding th rope the opposite way of how it should be. You will get it just have a little patience. 👍
Thank u Dave
You are most welcome Pete. Stay safe 😟👍
Subscribed 👍thankyou good sir
The spring refuse to say at the middle of the plastic which doesn't allow it to hook the cover meter
A job that comes straight from hell, I've used the exact same technique, it works but still a nightmare job
Definately keeps you on your toes. Lol
I did it with my hands only.
4:17 He actually starts doing it
4:16 minutes of foreplay.
@@ZombieDaveAZ I still managed to get the money shot without it. 😉 Great technique on your part. It worked great.
Stay safe and thanks for commenting. Between You and And me I cracked myself up a little. 👍😷🍺 Stay safe my friend
garden gloves would be more pleasant
You do not have to remove the spring to replace a rope
Listen to what I say @0:37 . Im speaking in the 3rd person as if you may have attempted to replace a rope or spring and you somehow managed to have the spring unload on you. You are correct. No need to remove the pulley to replace a rope. 👍
@Benny Russell Most people are here because we searched how to recoil the pull start. It's pretty self explanatory when replacing a pull rope, don't think there would be much of a video on a simple job like a pull rope.

HI Dave, I would like to contact you regarding the use of this clip in a video I am producing. Could you please share your email so i can send you the details? Thanks, Stevi
I have a question for you first. Why is it when I click on your avatar you have no content. Hmm
@@ZombieDaveAZ This is my personal account. You can email me directly at stevi.russell@vmlyr.com
Hi Dave, Still looking for clearance for this content. Honestly, this is a fair and honest request from a producer (myself) based in Sydney, Aus looking for your permission to use a section of one of your films in a clients online video. The video to be produced focusses on how people can teach themselves almost anything through UA-cam and we think your videos are a great example of this and would be great supporting content.
You can contact me at stevi.russell@vmlyr.com as I have mentioned below. If you don't wish to communicate I wont bother you further.
Thanks

Why do people talk so much why cant they just do it

Dont forget to subscribe!
@@ZombieDaveAZ lol I did!
You can adjust the play speed
Hit the 'settings' button
Finally gets it done...but stop talking and repeating...just gt to the point
Whatever dude.
The best way to do that is to hook the other end of the spring into the pulley and loop the spring and sit it down in the pulley one loop at a time till it's in.
True but some spots where you try to start the hook wont let you. I have anothet video of doing exactly what you said on a little 2 stroke trimmer or something. Thanks brother.
