how to fix and rewind briggs and stratton pull starters Davidsfarmison[bliptv]now

[@mmacmobile]

This is the exact pull starter I was looking for. There are many on here that do not correspond to the one I am rewinding. Very good video.

[@stevenh3154]

10 years old and this video is still helping people. Thank you for your efforts.

[@francimasaza8749]

Great great video, it creaked to me too after 5 seconds of operation, I turned it off immediately, 1.06 the part rotates nonstop thenks, I have to lubricate

[@KarenSaunders-b3z]

Excellent video. You covered every possible breakage and how to fix it without rambling and losing the part off screen. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I'm sure you helped lots of folks dealing with this problem.

[@johnemilybetinis8433]

Bravo! Your 12 year-old video just showed me all the tricks needed to get my old tiller going again after it stripped the plastic pulley. So helpful to find out that the spring can be filed to get it to lock in the slot again - I used a small triangular file to notch the end on both sides. And your guide to install the spring first, then the pulley - great! Thanks so much.👍👍

[@dfu1685]

Oh man, thank you so much! I had to replace the plastic pulley and did not know what I was going to do or how to do it. Plus, you showed many other things that I needed to do to stop the screeching on other machines! Just perfectly explanatory with accompanying video made this easy to understand. You sir, have a gift. Thank you so much!

[@budsodalsky]

Thanks so much! You covered every possible problem! I just bought an old snapper to restore and it has all this old tech on the pull cord, and the cord does not retract well, and the clutch does not engage anymore, all of this will help me get er going again ! Motor runs well, for its age, it is a 12 horse I/C. quiet motor. Can't wait to fix er up as my backup mower. You are the man. I could not live in Canada, too cold for too long. Been there in August before, Nestor Falls, cold nights in august! Good fishing though!

[@radiola7777]

A sincere thank you for taking the time to put this video together. It allowed me to save my ailing lawnmower with about 30 minutes of work and saved me great frustration!

[@wayneminor5559]

It's been decades since I have done all of this and I am a bit rusty. What an informative and helpful video. Thank you for posting this Sir.

[@johnpdudley]

You helped me fix my tiller, especially by showing how the spring is wound in the housing. It sure saved me a trip to the repair shop! Thanks for posting this!

[@davephillips8833]

The best guide on here by far. Forget other vids that have you was around with screws and cable ties. This way is far easier and actually works! Also, the piece on the end that walks through the pull start cord replacement. The '6 turns' instruction was invaluable to get the spring tension just right. Thanks very much.

[@paultilley2942]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, David. I have a Briggs and Stratton closing in on 25 years of service and you totally nailed the cause and effect of my pull rope malfunction.

[@creekak]

Awesome video that finally addressed how to work on these recoil units and not leave the hard parts to one's imagination...

[@dogphlap6749]

Thank you so much for this video. My problem went from looks impossible to not that difficult after watching your explanation. If there was a Nobel prize for KZbin videos I'd nominate you sir.

[@johnmeyer77]

Great tutorial. Exactly what I needed. I watched BEFORE I started the project and as a result was able to avoid pulling the spring out at all. The whole operation took less than ten minutes, including the removal and replacement of the pull/rewind enclosure. Total time from when the cord broke to having a running lawnmower -- including a trip to the hardware store one mile away, watching your tutorial, and doing the repair -- was less than an hour. Many thanks!

[@traceywilcox9626]

Hey, this was supper helpful. You covered everything I needed to know to fix my problem. I have the exact same coil. Thanks a million. My husband will be impressed when he learns that I fixed the recoil on the old tiller that he was ready to throw away.

[@dynamic73]

This video helped me get my lawn mower going again. Very well explained. Thanks you for this video.

[@jcomstock881]

Of all the Briggs And Stratton recoil repair videos, yours is by far the best. Thanks for getting me back on track.

[@art090342]

Amasing how easy it was after viewing your video. I had been working on it all morning without any results. After your video it was a snap. Thank you.

[@knuckle47]

I have spent over 90 minutes trying everything I could think of fixing my 40 year old Garden Way tiller...got everything running but this starter coil spring.....thank you...going back to work!!

[@hudsonriverlee]

This video saved me time and money ! I was winding the rope backwards. I set the spring in place, worked the pulley end onto the spring.. then wound up spring tension a little bit more, and finally got the rope in place. Old 1988 Briggs 12hp IC engine. Snapper mower, think the belt is fused to the drive pulley, as the blade turns the engine over,, so something is stuck in place.

[@marshallborder9089]

Great informative video - Thanks - Today I worked on a 41 year old starter on a 5 HP Tiller - and reinstalled the starter spring and went ahead a put a new rope in it . Gave $50.00 for it for my mom 15 years ago and she used it fir 5 years and when she quit making a garden - she told if I wanted to come and get it and I did . Rest I'd history ... thanks you helped me get the original stater cover on it now ....

[@iansturges109]

I was having the screeching sound on my Hayter lawn mower, was thinking of throwing it away until I saw your video, it's now working perfectly, thank you very much, cheers.

[@pattyyoshimura9803]

I had to convince my Dad that I could put the spring coil back plus the cord! Because I watched your video, it worked & my Dad was amazed! Although it did take 4-5 tries! I used a needle nose vice grip to hold it place. It helped when ours was a Briggs and Stratton. Mahalo from Hawaii!

[@johnnyboy5976]

I had that screaming noise from a mower my landlord left to take care of the place. I had it all apart but couldn't figure it out. Thanks for putting up the video it really helped.

[@AceMC42]

You sir, deserve many cold beers. Reel exploded out (no tabs bent in to hold it in place) and I was at a loss for getting it back in there the right direction and everything. This was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Thank you!

[@Tractorsandnonsense]

Thanks! I was moments away from throwing this engine in the scrap and heading to Harbor freight! Your video is perfect for what I was seeing! Screeching, stalling, not recoiling, how to wind the spring, those dumb bend tabs! etc.... Thanks

[@stevenhardy8263]

WOW !!! Its about time someone really know what hes talking about ! Not only that explains everything in detail , What a God send ! Thanks for the great video .

[@sacredrose]

Thanks a lot! I didn't really want to take it to a mower shop. The info on the right type of oil is really something that I needed to know as I have already oiled it with the wrong oil. I will fix that! Thanks again.

[@marymarchant3006]

Outstanding instructions - I have the exact Briggs and Stratton engine he shows - it took me hours to get the spring attached to the pull cord plastic piece but it is now fixed. This was the best set of instructions - this fella is patient and very knowledgeable.

[@marykalinowski3730]

out of 25 videos I've watched your is the best and most informative. thank you

[@nigelw598]

Hi chughes376, I had the squeal/screeching, seizing pull start. I followed your directions and my 8hp B&S slasher mower is now running great. Thanks for taking the time to make it. It was very informative and well presented. I owe you a beer! Cheers : )

[@DavidRodriguez-pu4vc]

Thanks man this video help me a lot .... I was going to buy a new lawn mower but not anymore!! Thanks agian keep loading new videos how to fix the throttle...

[@matthewstock9620]

David, you are saint among men. You've saved me from so much frustration and I thank you for that.

[@marykalinowski3730]

and woman that do repairs also

[@craftyward]

Just rewound my first rope thanks to this video. Thanks!

[@billtex07]

Not only the basic repair, but extra info for proper operation, too! You rock!! Thanks for this video. I hooked first time, too.

[@sherridecembrini7949]

dave thank-you, i trolled around you tube and i couldn't find the exact motor, and then i found you.....this was my very first engine repair--spring repair--i had to rejig both ends (i used my dremel) of the spring....i will post the video of my amazing journey.....sherri

[@lenny_DGWN]

Man that was perfect! 10.0!!!! Thank you. I ran out of fingers at some point so I used a 2" c-clamp to hold the spring a bit while attaching the pulley. Excellent work.

[@croixboy96]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! I too had the screeching noise and my cord bound up. Followed your instructions and it started on the first pull!

[@francimasaza8749]

the same I have now.... I will lubricate thenks thenks

[@JOHN-ut3yk]

Excellent video and detail. This helped me fix my 1979 tiller "Squealing" and return spring lube with ATF. New I just need a demo of the carb rebuild. Thank you for sharing.

[@josephwalter662]

Thank you so much!!! Only video on KZbin that explains the recoil on a b/s engine this old. Wish I had saw this sooner would have save a few hours!

[@km6791]

Awesome video! I found a "free" lawnmower yesterday with a broken cord. The assembly of my coil was different than yours, but the principle was the same. The part about being able to shorten a damaged coil and reshape it was extremely useful as I kinked the coil twice on the end trying to get it back in before figuring it out. Now that I got a working lawnmower I'm gonna go mow the lawn. Thanks!

[@nandritsis5183]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was trying to wind the spring and pulley together and then drop back in....for an hour, had to leave came home and found this video, got it the first time! You rock! This sounds fake but it's not...I am seriously so happy to have accomplished this task! (Back story- my son used to do the yard work, but suffered a brain injury and can't do it now)

[@elman8283]

Wonderful job explaining the problems and how to make the repair... Thank You

[@Ticklemytummy]

Thank you for this video - Tried 11 times to get the stupid spring and rope pulley to cooperate. After watching the video it went right together. :)

[@TechnoTinker]

Thank you! I have an old engine, and all the other videos I was finding were showing how to to replace the whole assembly on newer types. I remembered doing this once before, and watching dad fuss with it, and I figured I'd better hit KZbin before putting this mess back together.

[@MrScottwkelley]

Thank you so much for the video...my string broke last night before I could finish mowing. Being the rope busted your video just showed me how to simply fix it. I will have to purchase some new string for sure as I am sure the rope will be to short, plus it is worn. Thanks again for saving me a lot of frustration and time.

[@michaelwright1177]

Very helpful! Also, great to explain the racheting part and the important lubrication.

[@roberthowlett8081]

Thanks David - Great video from the other side of the world. Inherited my father's 1968 rotary hoe and your video enabled me to reassemble the recoil starter after I fixed it - just needed some lubricant after 48 years! You guys are going into your spring and we're going into our autumn. Thanks again!

[@pishlarry]

Great video! Thank you for explaining how to maintain the shaft also, and the different ways to tension the spring for when the rope is broke. This video explains the entire cowl & re-wind starter housing maintenance and is very easy to understand.

[@tomdale1313]

you covered all those problems plaguing my recoil, txs so much

[@aarondiehl1307]

David, thank you for the great video/help. You were spot on about the challenge of hooking the reel to the inner part of the spring. For what it's worth, I used a nylon wire tie through the same hole in the housing where the outer part of the spring hooks. This helped hold the spring in place while I hooked the inner part to the reel. Once in place and secured with the tabs, I cut the nylon tie and pulled it out of the housing. Hope this helps.

[@TH-ns5mb]

Cheers David. I managed it and just about gave up looking as most are those modern plastic ones. The spring keeps sliding out again when I give it a good pull :) but at least I got the idea and I really appreciate your help.

[@mumbles552]

Yee-Haw! I finally got the pull starter working on my eight horse tiller after thirty years of relying on the electric starter! Thanks for explaining it so clearly!

[@Deadbuck73]

Excellent video and great tip on cleaning the spindle... Folks need to watch out for the bearings inside... Thank you!

[@pippipgamingsecenedchannel4977]

Thanks for the help I'm one step closer to starting my tiller.

[@soccermako1]

Best advice on the web! I was going to resort to using my drill to start my engine. Great practical tutorial, I found it easier for me to put the inner part of the spring on first .

[@jeffg8520]

Awesome video!!! Completely saved me, and far better than any other vid out there. I know, as I tried to figure it out on my own beforehand and failed numerous times until I found this. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@lucluc1700]

A big thankssss for this great video . I have the same motor and I spent all yestrday trying to rewind bridds but it's very hard , so thanks to you I managed everything follows , you are really TOP handyman.

[@danielmckenzie4227]

Thank you so much! Video was just what I needed to get my lawnmower back together.

[@Ashon185]

Thank you you saved me I’m working on a Briggs and Stratton that is 30 years old and this is the only video I could find thanks

[@tedroman7091]

Your u tube information was perfect!!! It matched my 1962 4 HP!! You saved the day!! The others had me winding upp the spring!!

[@seriouslynow22]

Thank you, I watched several tutorials. Yours was way easiest to see and understand. You really have a gift for instruction!

[@Robert-bg2nm]

very cool dude.......he thinks 100% like me ....i can 100% relate!....thanks!

[@steveorshon]

Thank you. My pulley and starter clutch exactly. Saved me lots of time and money.

[@jponabicycle]

Excellent instructions! You answered a dozen of my questions in about a dozen minutes. Can't wait to apply this to my chipper with this identical problem.

[@buffalofish99]

Great video - helped me get my sister-in-law's mower back in good shape... cleaned and lubed the recoil spring and it works like new.

[@marshallborder9089]

A good refresher course , been so long since I replaced a spring/broken spring forgot . When you don't use it you lose it . Thanks

[@Tree-feller]

Your instructions on this video really helped me out, Thank you so much!!

[@charlieduckett2344]

This helped me a lot with my Briggs log splitter! Thank you!

[@michaelbradford2816]

Great video with simple but critical steps very well done. Thanks so much!

[@staceyrayner7695]

i just got my lawn mower to work thanks to this video. now i hope it doesnt pop out again while in use.

[@bradanesi3998]

Thanks for being the only video (that I could find) to discuss this specific (older) recoil. All I needed to do was just dribble some ATF in on the spring and that fixed it - it now fully recoils. :)

[@petehellier7450]

Very helpful video. The 14mins put me off, but it's all worth watching carefully so you understand what's going on and exactly what to do in terms of technique and sequence. Put to good use. Brilliant.

[@grahampugh9687]

Very helpful, gave me confidence to fix a non-runner. Thank you.

[@valcharette4891]

Thank you for youre video. I was about to order another spring when I noticed that I could regrind the end of the spring where it broke off. Thank you for helping me save some money. God Bless.

[@ilricettario]

Absolute genius, never thought I would find how to do this properly.

[@Chris-it2dx]

Thanks a lot for the video. Very helpful for the B&S engine that is used on our wheel line. Had a squealing sound coming from the starter, started jammed up as well. Going out to apply ATF fluid to the bearing, I'm sure that should fix the problem.

[@gtd65]

What fun I had trying to put mine back together before I saw your video. I need to change the pull cord and handle so this is great information! :-)
