There are so many jobs I have done a certain way forever and never consider a better method. Your drill method has got me considering something similar. Thanks for the video!
Always nice to try something different hey! Good to hear from you :) how have you gotten on with the t-handle? Has it made its way in to your daily rotation of most used tools? Also Scott, do you have an interest in joining a small group of small engine mechanics on WhatsApp? It’s a great bunch of guys sharing ideas and chatting like old women for hours on the group call feature.
@@VintageEngineRepairs I like the t-handle and bought one for home and one for shop but it has not yet become a go-to tool for me. The group chat sounds great but I have such a tight schedule already that I'm not sure I could afford the time. Thanks.
Yep that works, the reason I didn’t show it was because not all engines use that little metal dish, sometimes they go into a deep recoil mechanism like the shindaiwa or echo trimmers etc. this way it covers all eventualities :)
Hey, it’s not something I could easily do I’m afraid, especially as the metal needs to be the right width, thickness, steel type and temper (spring) much easier and cheaper to source one - they’re all very similar sizes across the board for most machines with only small variations :)
Maybe you can give me some quick advice cuz I can't find a single video on there on here about this but I bought a brand new pull start kit for my 49cc motorized bike and straight out the box the cord is jammed I cannot get it to pull
@@VintageEngineRepairs I kept playing with it and I eventually got it but I wanted to thank you so much for responding you're only one that did. However Mike still isn't starting cuz I'm having a bad tire issue with the coaster brake but I don't know if the first thing about him I should have did my research before I started this project but I didn't so here I am
You’re welcome :) that’s ok, have a cup of tea and just take a step back, then come back when you’re ready. I presume you brought this bike as a project to enjoy, remember that when you are feeling frustrated :)
How to fixed when its twisted both way😬 i have one when it pfops out it going both way, so i can not roll it up like this way. i have a loop in 2 diferent directions ☹
Thanks Mark! There is about 10 different clips put together. Different camera angles, different stages of the process intertwined. Gives a better viewing experience than just one camera angle the whole time! Thanks for watching :)
@@VintageEngineRepairs wasn't that I didn't like it. Just giving folks a heads up it may not give them the result there looking for. The Chuck put on to the spring bends and kinks the spring around the Chuck teeth and can even break the curled end of the spring off completely
What a clear and easy-to-understand presentation. Excellent!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is the best video I have ever seen on how to rewind a recoil spring.
You have gained a new subscriber here.
Thank you
That’s great thank you! :)
Holy cow thank you, i spent 45 minutes and a few garage beers trying this by hand
Haha all good!
You could have saved my marriage as I was starting to swear a lot and throw things, lol.
LOL glad I could help
Ai una forma más fácil
Haha ino 😂same here
The best video I've seen on how to rewind recoil spring. Thank you for that demonstration.

All good mate :) I’m sure, after a day of dealing with engines, talking about them in your off time isn’t exactly that appealing either LOL.
@@VintageEngineRepairs I already eat breathe and sleep engines so its not a problem. I'm really just that backed up with other projects.
Tool Tips With Tom 😊
I like that 🤣
Great video ! I wrestled with 1 earlier today then watched your video , easy fix, thanks!
Glad it helped :)
Thank you this totally helped me get a stubborn coil back on an old echo 280e chainsaw.
Perfect! :)
Very nice video. Easy to follow. Thank you.
You’re welcome :)
Tom I used to use my fingers to rewind them. Thank you so much. I'm going to do this next time. 👍👍.
Sounds good :) let me know how you go!
@@VintageEngineRepairs will do 👍
Good way. I also wind in my palm or straight into the cup. Hardest part is which way to lay it down. Take care.
Yep that works, the reason I didn’t show it was because not all engines use that little metal dish, sometimes they go into a deep recoil mechanism like the shindaiwa or echo trimmers etc. this way it covers all eventualities :)
@@VintageEngineRepairs I’m going to unwind something just to try it.
with a great tip like that Tom, you must have repaired a few springs 🤣👍
Just a few 🤣
The drill. OMG... Thank you so much.
You’re welcome :) easy does it!
Good one mate. 👍
Thanks mate!
Would you show how to make a recoil from house hold items?
Fixing is great, but I'd love to see one made from scratch. ❤

Good job Tom mate
Great to hear from you Phil, thanks mate.
Very nice. Please use eye protection everyone.
Good advise!
Fourth
Nice Tom Tip once again. 🙂👍
Thanks John!
You’re welcome brother.
Cool. i use a magnet from an old desktop hard drive to hold it flat. very handy magnets and strong.
Cool! Lots of tricks to get them in :)
Excellent, thank you!
You’re welcome :)
If you are not as agile as our master instructor here (and are as hamfisted as yours truly) please wear safety goggles during such ordeals!
Very good advice!
Wow, wish I had seen this when it was first put up! Great tip for next though.
Thanks Tom
Thank you Dennis, I appreciate you :)
That’s pretty clever Tom
Thanks Al!
Perfect just what I needed
Awesome :)
Maybe you can give me some quick advice cuz I can't find a single video on there on here about this but I bought a brand new pull start kit for my 49cc motorized bike and straight out the box the cord is jammed I cannot get it to pull
Hey mate, I can only suggest taking it all apart, it could be anything from broken spring, pawls, jammed cord, wrong winding direction etc!

I always seem to mess up the direction of the spring and end up with it wrong side up. Then I have to re-do it the opposite way.
Haha yes it can happen!!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
U solve my problem 😊
Great :)
How to fixed when its twisted both way😬
i have one when it pfops out it going both way, so i can not roll it up like this way.
i have a loop in 2 diferent directions ☹
Hey :) hmmm what machine is it off?!
@@VintageEngineRepairs Its a Stihl SH86C blower.
Awesome tip
Thank you :)
Top tip tom 👍 did you do that in one take 🤔
Thanks Mark! There is about 10 different clips put together. Different camera angles, different stages of the process intertwined. Gives a better viewing experience than just one camera angle the whole time! Thanks for watching :)
thank you
You’re welcome :)
Nice job.
Thank you Mr Pete!
Brilliant tip git me out the brown stuff big time thank you!!?😊😊
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic! ❤
👍
Mine doesn't have a housing . Not sure this will work for mine.
👍
My fingers thank you
Awesome :) glad it helped!
Absoulte BOSS :)
Glad it helped :)
Thank's
You’re welcome :)
That’s a very difficult way to do it Ask an old timer, there’s a much easier way😊
Thanks for watching :)
@@VintageEngineRepairs🎉 yeah I enjoyed watching I was maybe 30 when I learnt how to do it with no tools
Not a good way to do this!!! It will bend and kink the spring where the drill chucks onto the spring!
Ruined my spring trying to do this!!
I have done this for years, sorry to hear you didn’t like it!
@@VintageEngineRepairs wasn't that I didn't like it. Just giving folks a heads up it may not give them the result there looking for.
The Chuck put on to the spring bends and kinks the spring around the Chuck teeth and can even break the curled end of the spring off completely
Leave it to a Brit to think of something clever…
LOL
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU INSTALL A SPRING
It’s ok Michael, ..you don’t have to use this method if you don’t like.
Bingo thank you very much works like a champ you are awesome
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
