This is the first KZbin, or any video, that truly got me out of a pinch and saved my ass. A heartfelt, and genuine thank you to you my good man. I'm truly grateful for my new knowledge. I'm back up and running, snappin necks, and cashin checks thanks to you. 🤙

suffered through multiple videos on the issue, but this one is in my opinion the best one, thank you for the straightforward presentation sir

[@thepropgarageinc4867]

Thank you so much for this video.... My Stihl 181 chainsaw cord broke the third tune I used it. Your video showed me how to replace the cord correctly on my first attempt. Much appreciated!

[@kowitchiasurisri4645]

This video make my life a lot easier in recoiling the chainsaw starter spring. The explanation very simple and straight forward to understand and warning of any caution needed. Thank you very much.

This was a great rewind the spring on a still chainsaw.I was able to rewind the spring first try, no blow ups or surprises.Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!!!

[@philflip1963]

One of the best videos on this issue I've seen, cheers!

[@nathanwest2304]

this would have been very helpful if I had found this a week ago. eventually I did figure it out and yes, winding it inside the housing definitely is the best(and only) way to go

[@mattc9389]

Thank you sir I was beginning to think I'd have to sort a new one, but this clip sure helped

[@semco72057]

That is good information to remember when I have to work on my saws. Thanks so much for the tip, and I will remember it for later usage.

I'd like to see someone do that on a Stihl FS38 string trimmer.. and also if it can be done when it has a backbend in it from springing out.

[@JAY-hi9kv]

I love this man

[@Jase-so2tm]

does a ms381 stihl saw have 1 or 2 dogs or poles

[@oktbas9197]

l have a Giantz 75cc 22'' chainsaw. This chainsaw has 2 springs, one ( assuming) sucks the rope in which is 6mm, other is 12mm starts the engine. After l changed the snapped spring (12mm) Everything was ok till l tried starting it. There was only one revolution which wasnt enough to start it. l fooled around with for a while but, l coudnt work it out. Where did l go wrong? Thank you for sharing such a helpful video :)

[@barbaracloyne9835]

What’s wrong if when you put it all together and then you can’t pull the cord out

[@AnaM-om9dh]

Thank you!!

[@georgegeorgel7254]

For my chinese chainsaw u must turn the spring anticlockwise

[@mariomannelli9887]

Thank you buddy

[@michaeldominy2084]

Does all equipment have the spring and rope fitted the same way that you did, does any rewinds go anti clockwise for any reasons.?🤔

[@ScottWConvid19]

Thank you

[@TreeStuffdotcom]

You're welcome

[@HariSingh-li3ie]

Same did it but not properly working rope

[@mihaithemystic2890]

you didn't show how to attach the rope in the correct way.

[@taco1212]

Why don't you show the entire process?

[@azdeh1894]

craftsman's system is different than this and I suspect on purpose to sell replacement parts..

[@marianatequiero28]

Arrrr the recoil spring 😡😩

[@joepapp01]

NOTE: This video doesn't actually show you how to successfully re-coil and reinstall the rewind spring. There's a cut in the footage and suddenly the return spring appears in place. For all we know they just used a pro-coiled Stihl OEM part, which comes on a discardable plastic fan that allows you to quickly place the spring into the housing. I literally could've (and should've [so I'm the idiot]) driven to my Stihl dealer, bought an OEM spring, driven home, and installed it in the time I wasted trying the video's approach. At least I didn't damage the anchor point in the fan housing, which is just plastic!

[@zacw]

BS it’s not that easy to recoil the spring.

[@SailingInfidels]

He actually made it look hard lol

[@ScottWConvid19]

It is super easy. You just need some patience
