    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!

    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! 👍🧓

  • @kenevans7286
    @kenevans7286 6 років тому +1

    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.

  • @JohnAttila
    @JohnAttila 6 років тому +6

    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!

    • @dmassarone1955

    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 !

  • @CLyon-cc9jp
    @CLyon-cc9jp 2 роки тому

    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.

  • @danielbachenheimer9488
    @danielbachenheimer9488 2 роки тому

    Thanks! I should have watched the video before I drilled out the rivets holding the recoil assembly to the cover but glad I watched it after-the-fact which enabled me to be able to replace the pull-cord and successfully re-assemble all of the bits and pieces.

    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!! 👍🏻

    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+

  • @TonyDiscenza
    @TonyDiscenza 6 років тому +6

    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.

    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.
