elasto start

[jake wells]

does the set up last? i got a old husqvarna i would like to put it on and i want to know if it is compatible?

They last well, long as you use the compression release. If you don't....the elasto helps a lot to save fingers. Especially on 044's. The loggers rarely bring saws in for repairing those.

I'd say they're worth it. I have a ts400 concrete saw i bought new in 97. Maybe 500 starts per year. I've put probably 5 of them on it since then. They don't last like an original husky rope of that era, but provide some give to smooth things out

The aftermarket ones aren't worth a nickel. But oem stihl seems to hold up well. I've never had the rope break, it has always been the rubber to give for me.

Husqvarna has their own version now, just saying, and it looks so much more appropriate.

On what model can you see it?

 

[jake wells]

most likely copied from the older redmax string trimmers that used the same set up.

Looks just like the handle on the 562, the part number is 584 15 62-01

T540 XP

The Husky version uses a coil spring, no rubber to break.

Maybe try a Rescue D handle? Easy on the hands and provide a good grip.

It's not really hard to start. That's just what the dealer put on it when i needed It fixed fast.

 

[Derf]

That looks like three parts. Is it just one part number?

Yes sir, sold as an assembly.

Baileys at one time sold their version of the starting system .For reasons unknown they discontinued it .

Gregg Grande sent a bunch of give away stuff some years back to one of our GTG's .I think I had three of those,used one gave one away don't know about the other one .

I much prefer a D-handle used on a 460 rescue saw .They are 8-9 bucks a pop and well worth it .
