I was working on my ex-wife's lawn mower who I am currently staying with after having a near death experience and lived homeless on the Streets of Philadelphia. At tape marker 10:52 a mosquito buzzed my ear please listen to the next 10 seconds from that point as to what I heard and know that my birthday is December 3rd a one in 365 chance. 🙏💚💯
I like to use silicone spray to lube plastic parts and a light grease to coat the spring for rust prevention. WD-40 fixes a lot of problems but it is a solvent and will wash off any petroleum based lubes. So it's a good idea to use WD-40 to remove grime that sticks to grease, then follow up with some clean lube to reduce rust.
They call them pawls. First time Ive seen new spring put on. Now I know about piece that keeps it spring together. Does briggs have same piece that holds spring together?
I've an electric start hrx217 with the gcv200 engine. I've never in the last 4 years used the pull rope,but was u loading it out of my pickup the other day and the rope broke at the handle. I took the top off today and fed the rope back through the hole to reattach the pull handle but when I pull on the rope it wont recoil back into the unit. I dont know about taking it apart to replace the spring. I'll try it if I have to,but I'd rather not go there. I just want a backup way to start it when the battery or starter fails.
Easy for you to say. If I tried that the spring would unwind and cut my head off. That would make my next job much harder. Great job and video.

Exactly the tutorial I needed. Thank you very much!
I'm glad it helped!

To for the video mate .. much better.. a nice and simple video
Use liquid wrench, it’s great for lubricant and eats rust 😊😊😊
It’s what I found works best on rusty springs

You need to put a load on the coil spring or it not going to work. You could also purchase the whole assembly. Just bolt it on.
I did not know what they called them either but it's Paul's. I had to look it up.
unable to find just the spring part for sale, where did you purchase? Thanks for the video.
Check the Description of the video. I believe there is a link to the coil spring.
They should have slot for rope so you can rewind it with less difficulty.
Way too much tinkering and worry of failure for me. Paying the $20 or $30 for the whole drop in unit is the way to go in my world.
Yah the Honda recoils are easier to work on. The pin style are more difficult
