I was reinstalling the pull cord on the chainsaw because it broke.. when putting the pull chain and assembly back on the saw the cord will not recoil back when pulling it out.

I see there is a coil underneath the assembly but how do you reset it so that it works right?

Advise - thanks - Phil

You must rewind the spring on the recoil starter, then insert the rope and allow it to rewind the rope into the recoil starter, then reassemble.

Ok so you take out the spool and the spring pops, what know?
