Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
Nice and straightforward. For all those asking what size of rope -- my GX Honda uses #5, which is 5/32". This works out to almost exactly 4mm. You can measure your existing cord and it should be close. You can find Stens in various sizes, cheap enough to buy a hundred feet and be set for a few years.
Great video, concise and your tutorial worked perfectly! When I searched for how to make this repair there are so many videos that are 8+ minutes long which, as you have shown, is a complete waste of everyone's time. I only went to the 2:00 mark and your instructions were so clear that's all I needed! Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Friend I am an Indian from a remote village farmer. Tonight I had no option . I had to repair the machine. No mechanics will visit me at night 11 o'clock as it is village and am two miles away in the dark night. To catch fish by pumpming out 💧. The machine I opened but only your video help me to coil the pulling rope. Thanks this is the real help
Your instructions are so clear, your video is so clean. Thank you so much!! My 14-year old son helped me, and we did it. A law mower repair guy was going to charge me $59.99. I'm a HS Teacher and a single mom, we did it for $6.20.

it is better to wind the spring first. you wind it up till it won't wind anymore, then Un wind 1 full turn. put a screw driver through it to lock it in place. then tie the rope. the machines at work do this process, I actually work tying these together. we make the knots in the rope one handed. we tie around 300 parts an hour.
could you make a video on how to replace the ratchet pins on a GX 390 inside the coil pull. Mine backfired so violently once on a pull that it bent the pins beyond repair. I purchased new ratchet pins but don't know how to install them.
What causes my starter cord to keep snapping, it looks like something is cutting it as we have used stronger cord and after a couple of pulls it even breaks
Need Help on my GX390 recoil starter---the metal piece that comes out when pulled to spin the motor keeps on rattling... tried to readjust it and removed grease but its still the same ----any help would be appreciated...
I will be hard for me to diagnose the problem with out the part here in front of me, but I would say the pulley may be worn too much where the pawl is held. There is usually a return spring that holds this pawl in. Is this missing?
I love how this guy makes it seem so easy.. . First you have to have Honda nylon rope of the right size and length. I had to wrap the end of rope with tape to stop fraying and get it through the hole in pulley.. Thanks for the video though save me some $

Thanks so much for your video on pull chords. After watching, replacing my chord was a cake walk!.....thanks again!
Joe!
was good. but wasn't clear on how long the rope should be and what type of rope to use
it is better to wind the spring first. you wind it up till it won't wind anymore, then Un wind 1 full turn. put a screw driver through it to lock it in place. then tie the rope. the machines at work do this process, I actually work tying these together. we make the knots in the rope one handed. we tie around 300 parts an hour.
Darrell Randall thank you worked a treat!
Thanks a lot for posting this! I just fixed my lawn mower following your explanation :)
Excellent material
Thank you for that. Think my spring might be broken. I'll have to check. At least now I know more than I did 2 minutes ago.
omg thanks now I can work tomorrow
This Honda GXV 160 has a metal cage around where the spool sits inside & I can't wind the rope like you do to set tension
Do you know what size the rope on a Honda GCV 160 27,000 psi pressure washer is
Dude, thank you so much. I just watched your video and it helped me 100%. All the best. :)

What causes my starter cord to keep snapping, it looks like something is cutting it as we have used stronger cord and after a couple of pulls it even breaks
Get a small file and file the edges of the hole it goes through
I have seen an owners manual for 1983. So it would have been around that time period.

Were 2 put a frotoll spring on a honda hr173 lwa96 type ma2r please helpful
Is the repair the same on a Honda pressure washer pull cord? This came up in my search results for honda pressure washer. Thanks.
My pressure washer (commercial type) has a broken recoil rope... This one appears to be similar..
no one seems to have put on youtube how to replace the starter spring

Thank you
Will this work on a G200?
Yoooo I did that shit!!!! .... bet 👍 thanks bro .... that was knowledge time n money...
Thank you.

I will be hard for me to diagnose the problem with out the part here in front of me, but I would say the pulley may be worn too much where the pawl is held. There is usually a return spring that holds this pawl in. Is this missing?
How long should the rope be ? I had some rope to cut...
oopps.... I see he doesn't reply to questions lately...

A+ Thanks!!
thank good video!
The spring underneath pulley is probably broke or bent.
Thank bro
What size rope? How long? What brand? ?
We use rope from Echo. The bigger the rope the less length you will be able to fit in the pulley. I typically use 5.5mm by 5 feet
Thanks I fucked up the one at work today. Luckily boss is on holiday so ima try fickz it tomorrow
Ours doesn't spin back, what does that mean? Plz reply bludklarteetus
Any size rope at all? #3? #7? doesn't matter? 24" long or 23 feet long, who cares?
don't make the knot too big? yes make the knot big otherwise it can slip back through the hole.. thank you though
My spring wind up only half a round what the fuck is going pls help me, i cant work tomorow
My best guess is you have something wrong with the spring.
पेट्रोल टे टूट गई है
THIS IS NOT HOW TO INSTALL A NEW ROPE PLEASE GO TO HONDA SCHOOL TY
