Has a knot got in? has it been out more in the past as someone mite of re tried it as for damage just to get going, three turx screws will let you in and have look it is easy, good look
SOURCE: Poulan 16" cannot start...pull cord locked up
Remove the cover, should be 4 screws that holds it on once the 4 screws are loosened the rope could rewind on its own. If not check to make sure the spring is not broken.
SOURCE: unable to crank Stihl 034 chainsaw because pull cord jams.
i had the same thing with a stihl hedgecutter its a part in the centrefruge that locks if you pull to hard pull slow and let all the cord come out let it in half way full choke on start just where it used to lock and it will start . the bad news .it wont last for long before you smash the wheel thats plastic and if its over about 5 years old they dont have a replacement part hope this helped
SOURCE: Stihl ms 250 chain saw won't start, doesn't seem to catch spark.
dry the plug asmall squirt of aerostart in the top of carbywith air cleaner off full throttle pull the rope and she should fire up make sure the on/off switch is in the correct position. no don`t laugh ican remember nearly completely stripping amotor years ago before ichecked it put it all back together and it started first go try the aerostart and switch
SOURCE: how do I wind a stihl ts400 pull cord
1) remove the recoil housing
**NOTE: normally you DO NOT need to remove the rotor pulley or spring to replace the rope. This is the area that causes so many guys a lot of extra trouble
2) locate the string that is left and the hole it is threaded thru
3) determine how much string has broken off of the rope that came out
Note: if more than 1 inch is left, then the rope needs to be replaced
4) after rope is obtained, make sure both ends are melted to a point for easier threading thru handle and rope rotor
5) install the rope (with the handle installed on one end) thru the recoil housing and towards the rope rotor.
6) with the rotor free of tension, route the rope from the groove toward center and up thru the hole. Tie a knot in the end of the rope, leaving a 3/8" tail free.
7) wind the rotor in the direction of what the rope would pull (this will tighten the spring) until the spring is completely wound. remove 1/2 to 1 revolution, and then allow rope to wind onto the rotor until all rope is wound.
8) Pull the rope several times to position rope properly into rotor.
*note : there should be NO droop in the handle after released
If droop is evident, wind the rotor and rope 1 revolution tighter so there is no droop of handle when released
9) when unit is functioning proplerly, re-install housing onto unit
