How to change pull spring - Husqvarna Craftsman 36cc, 16 In. Gas Chain Saw

normally the tag that the spring is attached to has a hole in it and the spring end has a pressing that fits into that hole . Open the end of the spring up and pull it of the tag

You will need to identify the vehicle and whether it is a front or rear spring you wish to change. Now in some cases, a better Spring shop, actually can make and install the spring at their shop for a competitive price of the spring alone.

The shipping weight, if you have to pay for transportation, plays a role in the cost of doing it yourself. You can get used springs from a Salvage yard and often they are 1/2 the price of a new one.

You will need several jacks to do a rear leaf spring change and you may have problems pulling the mounting bolt past the frame. For coil springs you need a spring compressor to get clearance between the "A" arms. Strut type springs need a spring compressor too.

Remember that when replacing a broken spring, the new part will almost always be longer or arched more than the worn part. So jack accordingly.

Please rate my info and I hope it is helpful.

I suppose your refering to the thing either runs as fast as it can or never rev's up from idel? First i'd look to see if the throttle cable is connected and as you work it does it move the lever on the carb. If that works good try adjusting it the different ways it'll move if you take it loose and try it and you may find the adjustment just slipped. Near where this lever and cable connect their will be some ( or one) spring that trys to pull the throttle wide open. the lever pulls on the other end of the spring making it pull harder or not as hard to change the desired engine speed. This spring getts gummed up with dirt and grass and it changes the pull of the spring cleaning the spring may get it right back to were it used to be as getting this whole area clean may solve the whole problem. Of couse the sring may have hopped off or wore though it's hook. You may need only to reconnect it try it to see if it'll stay on and bend it a little to make it a little less likly to fall off.

once you have the recoil er out take your hand and spin coiler against the springs tension hold it in place and tie new rope on when you let go of coiler should pull new rope in housing

Your bulb is held on by a spring clip that goes around the base of the bulb. The plug on the back is hard to remove because you do not want to pull too hard and damage the spring clip. Using a trouble light or flash light to see, grab the rubber tab and peel the rubber cover back far enough to see the spring. Now locate tab on the end of the spring that is under neath the catch and slide the spring off the catch. Now you can pull the bulb out of the housing and get a good grip on it to pull the wire plug off the back.Grab the new bulb by the base being careful not to touch the glass of the bulb. Do Not Get Any Grease or Dirt on the Bulb. Place the bulb in the headlight, reattach the spring clip, put on the rubber cover, and plug in the wire harness. If you do get the bulb dirty or touch it by accident just wash it with some clean drying alcohol before installation.

The recoil spring has broken. These are available at any lawn mower parts supply store. The process of changing the spring is tedious but can be done by anyone with average mechanical ability. If you removed the recoil assy (and air shroud if it is riveted on) and took the assembly to a Lawn Mower Repair shop usually they will change out the spring while you wait. If you can't get the recoil assy off take the mower with you to the repair shop. Again most shops will fix it while you if wait but if they are very busy usually they are serviced within 24 hours.

If you do attempt this yourself check in the tips section of FixYa on how to change the recoil stater rope after replacement of the spring.

I highly recommend you replace the pull rope at the time of the recoil spring replacement.

One final note... there is a possibility that the pull rope spool has been damaged where the spring attaches.

Thanks for using FixYa,

change the spring

Remove the fork cap from the piston rod (see photo below). You’ll need a 17mm wrench to hold the lock nut under the cap. Then pull the spring out the sleeve you may need long nose liers to grab the spring inside buddy

Easy suggestion would be to get new spring coil. Is it older saw? Have had to change mine on poulan saws before.

there is no method to ease the tension of the spring. I just used vice grips to grab the end of the spring and pull it out of the ringlet. I used the same method to connect the spring on the new motor.
